Many of us enjoy having the masala dosa at breakfast time, so I decided to inquire with the kitchen staff to ask how it's made, and what the ingredients are. They were happy to accommodate my request and even took the time to make a dosa for me. I asked the chef in the photo if the dosa is a common meal at home in India and he replied that it is.
The outside of the dosa is a batter (like a pancake batter, but much lighter) made out of rice and lentil mixed together. You can have either a plain dosa with nothing in it or the masala dosa which has several of the following ingredients:
*mashed potato
*onion
*green chili
*ginger
*mustard seed
*lentils
*curry leaves
*turmeric
*tomato
*salt

The sauces on the side for dipping or spreading on the dosa are:
*the white sauce is coconut with green chili
*the red sauce is tomato
*the green sauce is curry leaves
