Chicken & Coconut Dosa

Chicken Dosa

Chicken and coconut dosa

So many flavours and textures! You are going to love these chicken dosas.

 

The original idea behind this recipe was to create create a curry that could be made in 20 minutes or less. I’m happy to say I did it. If you’re looking for a curry recipe that can be made quickly after work that also happens to taste fantastic, try this. It would be perfect over plain white rice.

I had some dosa batter ready so I decided to use the curry as a topping instead. To do this, I continued to reduce the chicken down over medium heat so that the sauce was nice and thick.

If you would like to try the dosa version as seen here, you will first need to make my dosa batter recipe. You can find it here.

Either way, I think you’re going to like this no-fuss curry.

When I made the dosas, I topped them with salad, fried gram bhujia (those are the small, thin noodles you see in the photo below) and a spicy yoghurt dressing. All the different textures and flavours really made this dish something special.

This recipe can serve up to ten. If you have any left over, both the curry and dosa batter freeze well.

To make the yoghurt dressing: Mix 1 cup (250ml) plain natural yoghurt with the juice of two limes, your favourite hot sauce (to taste) and salt and pepper to taste.

It's definitely delicious. However, I will need to make it hotter the next time. I like it to be extreme spicy sometimes.
