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.
Looks amazing, but I would think it’s missing curry pattas, to make it really very authentic. Especially for dosas!
