About Vegetarian Kari Dosa Recipe
Kari dosa is a popular recipe from Madurai. It is often called as Madurai kari dosa. It is usually made by topping spicy minced meat filling over dosa, egg is poured over the dosa and cooked till golden. This vegetarian version replaced minced meat with minced soya kheema. Egg is skipped too. The end dish is so worth the efforts. Taste good on its own, but you can serve with chutney or sambar too. Meanwhile don’t miss to check my traditional kari dosa recipe too.
