Masala dosa (which is an indian crepe made of a fermented rice-lentil batter and stuffed with a spicy potato masala) must be the most ordered menu item in a south indian restaurant. It goes all the way from small appetizer sized masala dosas to the large table sized masala dosas in some fancy restaurants. This is one item that is a favorite with kids, well, kids of all ages I should say as even the older folks like my mom will always end up ordering this one.
The typical masala dosa can be quite filling, thanks to the potatoes that go inside it. Personally I like the masala dosa, but not the filling part of it as I like to have more of the dosa. In the quicknhealthy kitchen we put potato under the starch or carb category, and not so much under vegetables. We like to substitute potato with other less starchy vegetables, this way we can enjoy eating more dosas too :-).
