My Italian epiphany

Everyone has had Masala Dosa with Sambar..but little is known of the superhero persona these 3 take on when served with some Italian flair. I give to you - DOSAGNA! Formidable though it may sound, it is really simpler than simple. I'm not going to write the recipes for Masala Dosa or Sambar here, since they are prolifically available on the internet, or on the phone with your mother/aunt/grandmother/periappa/mama/kozhandai/Kamakshi chitti's Pug. If you're not on talking terms with your relatives, no problem..just ask the Pakkathaathu Mami. She will gladly oblige, if only to prove her recipe is superior!

In a round baking dish, put a layer of foil at the bottom. Start with a layer of dosa, top with a thin layer of potato masala. (A note on the masala here..mildly chunky will work best, or it will get on too thick and overpower the dish.) Repeat this until you have about 6-7 dosas. The top most layer should be a dosa. Then, once you're ready to serve, cut a wedge down to the last layer, plate and pour a ladle (or two!) of hot, spicy sambar over it. There you have it.

You could vary this up by smearing some coconut/tomato chutney on the dosa before you put the layer of masala on, or once the whole thing is built, sprinkle some Molagapodi on top of it and skip the Sambar. Whatever your preference, Dosagna will be there to save the day! Of course, you'll be pretty much passed out from a Doma (Dosa-Coma) for the rest of the day!
