  6. Heat oil in a broad pan and add a tea spoon black gram, mustard and red chilli.
  7. When mustard seeds splutter add cumin seeds, onion pieces, ginger garlic and green chilli (finely chopped or ground), turmeric powder, curry leaves broken into pieces and fry till transparent.
  8. Meanwhile peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into medium size pieces.
  9. Add them to the frying onions, mix well, remove from fire after about five minutes and set aside.
  10. Make the chutney by grinding together 1/2 coconut, 4 green chillis, 1tsp Ginger, a bunch of cilantro, tiny piece of tamarind and Salt to taste into fine, thin paste, adding water.
  11. Heat a flat pan and make thin dosas by spreading the dough on the pan with a ladle.
