Potato masala or uralai kehazhangu masala is a potato mixture that

is often served alongside, or folded inside, a dosa (see " Pancakes,

Latkes, Crepes, Corn Cakes and Tortillas " > " Crepes " ) . This

combination, widely eaten in South India, is known as masala dosa.

Coconut chutney (see " Condiments - Savory and Sweet. > Chutney and

Pickles " ) is a common accompaniment.

1 medium onion, chopped thin

4 - 5 split green chillies
