Looks amazing, but I would think it’s missing curry pattas, to make it really very authentic. Especially for dosas!
Yes for sure Nikhil. But as you see the title is sukhi aloo subzi and not dedicated to only dosas. Curry leaves aren’t available easily here in America. I made this post when I was in Seattle and I hardly found curry leaves there. But i will edit the recipe and recommend using curry leaves. Thank you for your feedback.
