Rinse rice and urad dal under running water thoroughly. In a bowl, soak rice and fenugreek seeds with enough water for about 6 hours. In a separate bowl, soak urad dal for the same duration.
Drain the water from the urad dal and grind it into a smooth batter using a little water, about half a cup, until it reaches a smooth and fluffy consistency.
Repeat the process for rice and fenugreek seeds, using some water, until it's smooth.
Mix both the batters thoroughly in a large bowl. Add salt, mix well, and let it ferment overnight or for about 8 hours in a warm place.
Peel and boil potatoes until tender. Once cooled, mash them coarsely.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
Add finely chopped onion, green chili, and ginger. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Add turmeric powder, stir well, and then add the mashed potatoes. Mix everything well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet on medium-high heat. Spread a few drops of oil evenly on it.
Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter on the skillet and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown and crispy.
Place a portion of the potato masala on one half of the dosa and fold it over.
Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
