Onion masala dosa| Ulli karam dosa |Yerra karam dosa



The region of rayalseema in Andhra pradesh is known for its spicy food.As you move towards the cities of guntur, nellore the food becomes spicier beyond imagination.Seriously it isn't for faint hearted.One such speciality is yerra karam dosa or in lay-mans terms onion masala dosa .It is also referred to as ulli karam dosa .A simple raw onion and spices paste when smeared with ghee on dosa elevates the taste of a humble dosa  to several notches higher.







The paste can be preserved in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.If you are left with a large batch then freeze it until further use.To use next time just thaw it in the refrigerator and proceed.Usually the chutney powder is drizzled on the masala but I prefer to add it while grinding for 2 reasons, one is that it adds to the thickness of the masala and the second one is you end up with a no-mess dosa eating experience.If you want to make this completely vegan just avoid the ghee.But I would highly recommend using ghee as it lends that buttery taste to the dosa and subsides the spiciness of the masala.

  1. The dosa looks quite crispy. I have also seen recipes where they saute the onions a bit before grinding them with other ingredients.
