Kari Dosa/Minced Mutton Dosa

This is one of the very famous dishes in my home town Madurai. My uncle recently had shared with me the recipe of Sangam Hotels Kari Dosa in facebook. Atlast I tried it at home and it was so tasty with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

1. Minced Mutton (Kothukari) - 1/2 kg
2. Eggs - 4 (beaten with little salt)
3. Big onion - 2 finely chopped
4. Tomatoes - 2 finely chopped
5. Chilli powder - 1tsp
6. Garam masala (I used my homemade kuzhambu masala) - 1 and 1/2tsp
7. Ginger garlic paste - 2tsp
8. Coriander leaves -few
9. Salt - as needed
10. Sesame oil - 2tbsp

To dry roast and grind to a paste:

• Red chilli - 6 (original recipe calls for 8. I reduced it as per my taste. Its up to you)
• Coconut grated - 6tsp
• Coriander seeds - 4tsp
• Peppercorns -2 tsp
• Curry leaves few

Method:

1. Dry roast the ingredients under 'To dry roast and grind to a paste' column and grind to a paste with little water.

2. In a pressure cooker, heat oil, add curry leaves , fry onions till translucent. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute till raw smell leaves.

3. Add the tomatoes and saute till raw smell leaves. Add the spice powders,salt and saute for 2 mins. Now add the ground paste with little water and saute.

4. Add the washed minced meat and stir to combine well. Add little water if needed. Close the cooker and pressure cook till the meat is cooked well. It took 1 whistle in high flame and 10 minutes in simmer for me.

5. Once the pressure releases, simmer it uncovered for the water to evaporate.Garnish with coriander leaves.

6. Mix well 1 time finally and transfer it to a bowl. Add the beaten eggs and combine well.

7. Heat dosa pan, pour ladle full of dosa batter. Do not spread too much. Let it be thick like oothapam. Pour the mutton mixture in center and spread lightly with spoon and drizzle oil in sides. 

8. Flip over after slightly browned and cook for 2 to 3 minutes till well cooked. Serve hot!!.

Notes:

1. The above measure yielded 10 dosas for me.

2. In the original recipe they had used a pan for cooking mutton but I went with pressure cooking as I felt it less time consuming. You can try pan method also.

3. Do not add too much water to cook mutton.

4. Flip over the dosa carefully. Once flipped over keep in low medium and drizzle some oil and wait 2 to 3 minutes for it to cook and set properly. Otherwise the eggs and dosa batter will be uncooked.

5. This surely makes a filling breakfast and 2 will be more than enough for a single person :).
