A South Indian meal isn’t complete without the iconic masala dosa. Crisp, golden, and filled with a spiced potato mixture, dosa is a favourite breakfast or brunch option that has gained popularity worldwide. With Haldiram’s Masala Dosa Family Pack, you can bring the authentic flavours of South India to your home in the UK. In this article, we’ll show you how to prepare a complete South Indian meal using the masala dosa pack, along with three delicious chutney recipes to complement your dosas.
Haldiram’s Masala Dosa Family Pack is a ready-to-cook solution that makes it easy to prepare crispy masala dosas at home. The pack includes a dosa batter and a spiced potato filling, saving you the hassle of fermenting batter from scratch. With minimal effort, you can create a traditional meal that captures the rich, savoury flavours of South India.
Here’s what you’ll need to make a complete meal using Haldiram’s Masala Dosa Family Pack:
We’ll make three chutneys to pair with the dosas:
This classic chutney is a must-have with dosa and idli, offering a cooling, creamy flavour.
This tangy chutney adds a burst of flavour and pairs beautifully with crispy dosas.
This refreshing chutney adds a herby, zesty flavour that complements the savoury masala dosa perfectly.
Blend the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilli, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and water until smooth.
Add cumin seeds for an earthy flavour, and blend again.
Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary, and serve fresh.
Once your dosas are ready, serve them hot with the three chutneys—coconut, tomato-onion, and coriander-mint. For an even more traditional experience, serve with a small bowl of sambar (you can use Haldiram’s Sambar Instant Mix for convenience).
This combination makes for a full, flavour-packed South Indian meal that’s sure to impress your family and guests. You can garnish the dosas with fresh coriander and a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of freshness.
Consistency of Batter: Ensure the dosa batter is not too thick. It should spread easily on the pan.
Pan Heat: The pan should be hot enough for the batter to cook quickly but not too hot that it burns. Adjust the heat as needed.
Even Spreading: Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion, starting from the centre and moving outwards.
Crispy Dosas: For extra crispy dosas, drizzle more oil around the edges and cook for an additional minute.
Convenience: Making dosa batter from scratch can take time due to the fermentation process. Haldiram’s Masala Dosa Family Pack saves you time while delivering authentic flavour.
Authentic Taste: The pre-made spiced potato filling gives you the classic taste of masala dosa with minimal effort.
Quick Preparation: You can have a full meal ready in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weekdays or lazy weekends.
Perfect for Families: The family pack offers enough batter and filling to serve a group, making it ideal for family gatherings or weekend brunches.
