Set/Sponge Dosa with Potato-peas curry

When i had joined my college in Bangalore till then i was not aware of this kind of Dosa. I ate it here for first time and i became a fan of this dish. It was served in my hostel mess on Wednesday and i used to wait eagerly for the day and i tired to have same dish at the lunch too by hiding some of them in mess which was not done (on escaping the eyes of warden ;)). I enjoyed this dish thoroughly my college days whether its hostel mess or canteen. After leaving hostel, i tried this recipe at my home and it came out to be nice on first attempt it self. Its nostalgic :)
