Sweet Potato Masala Dosa

For a change, i came up with sweet potato masala dosa for our Sunday breakfast. Merely because, i has few beautiful orange sweet potatoes thru my online purchase. Do not judge me, i find it easier and safer to purchase my groceries online to avoid the crowd and maintain social distancing due to the Corona season. I have shared ordinary masala dosa with potato masala stuffing in my blog. The method are similar, just replace them with sweet potato. I find sweet potatoes tend to have an extra kick with a hint of sweetness..not to much which goes well as dosa stuffing. 

By adding fenugreek to the dosa batter,the end result is a crispy,golden dosa. The girls love the mild sweet stuffed crispy dosa as it's own meanwhile, i enjoyed my delicious dosa with curry,chutney and piping hot filter coffee.
