Rinse 2 cups of rice and 0.5 cup urad dal in water until water runs clear. Soak them separately in ample water for at least 4–6 hours.
Rinse 0.25 cup poha in water and soak it for about 30 minutes before grinding.
Drain the soaked rice and urad dal, then grind them separately to a smooth batter. Use little water as needed.
Combine the ground rice, urad dal, and poha to form a batter. Add water to achieve a pourable consistency.
Mix in 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds to the batter. Cover and ferment in a warm place for 8–10 hours or overnight.
Boil 3 medium potatoes until fork-tender. Peel and dice them once cooled.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, and let them splutter.
Add 10 curry leaves, finely chopped 1-inch piece of ginger, and sliced 2 green chilies. Sauté for a minute.
Add 1 large sliced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add diced potatoes, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan or dosa tawa, and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladle of batter in the center of the pan and spread it outward in circular motions to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook on medium heat until golden brown.
Place 2 tablespoons of potato masala filling in the center of the dosa and fold it from both sides.
Serve hot with chutney or sambar.
