Prepare the Beetroot:

Peel and grate the beetroot. Alternatively, blend it with a little water to make a smooth puree.

Mix the Batter:

Take the dosa batter in a bowl. Add the grated or pureed beetroot, cumin seeds, green chili, ginger, curry leaves, and salt. Mix well. Adjust consistency by adding a little water if needed. The batter should be pourable but not too thin.

Make the Dosa:

Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or ghee. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center and spread it in a circular motion to form a dosa. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook on medium flame. Once the edges lift slightly and the bottom turns crisp, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Serve Hot:

Serve the beetroot dosa with coconut chutney, sambar, or spicy tomato chutney.

This dosa is not only visually appealing but also rich in iron and fiber. You can also add a little rice flour to make it crispier. Want a variation? Try adding grated carrots or spinach for extra nutrition!
