Dry roast fennel, coriander seeds, dried red chillies, star anise and stone flower, then grind fresh with coconut.

Heat gingelly oil, fry curry leaves and onions until deep golden.
3
Add ginger garlic paste, tomatoes, turmeric and salt; cook to a soft masala.

Add madurai kari dosai and sear on high flame for 5 minutes so the masala coats every piece.

சமையல் குறிப்பு

தோசையை மெல்லியதாக ஊற்றாமல், தடிமனாக மிருதுவாக சுடவும்; கறி மசாலா ஊர வேண்டும்.

Cook the dosa thick and soft, never crisp — it must soak up the kari masala.
