Madurai kari dosa

Makes 6 to 7
Dosa batter- 1 to 1 1/2 cups (not too loose)
Ghee/ sesame oil- couple of teaspoons
Eggs- 2 small
Mutton kheema- around 3/4 cups
Salt- to taste
Pepper- to taste
Coriander leaves- 3 to 4 tbsp, finely chopped

Make the mutton kheema as per this recipe. Use mutton mince and omit the potatoes.
For the dosa, you wont need 500gms mince, so for me this is mostly a what-to-do-with-leftover-kheema kinda dish.

Beat the eggs till slightly frothy.

Place a dosa tawa on medium heat and pour in one ladle full of the batter. Dont spread it too much, it must be thick, like a kal/ thattu dosa.
Cover with a lid, and just when you start seeing the bubbles, drizzle some ghee/oil along the edges.
Reduce the heat a bit and add about 2 to 3 tsp of the beaten egg, spread it carefully.
Season with salt and pepper and top with 2 to 3 tsp of kheema followed by a sprinkling of coriander leaves.
Press the meat slightly using a spatula and cook for about a minute,
Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another minute or so.
Make sure you dont burn the kheema, it should be a fried consistency.
Serve hot with some empty gravy on the side.

Notes: When i had this at the legendary Konar Mess in Madurai as part of the food walk i did, they drizzle a bit of mutton curry as well on top of the egg and then top with the kheema.
Also, the dosa is really thick.
The kheema on the dosa must be slightly fried and not burnt. So when its flipped, make sure you dont keep it on for a long time.
