This dish is a carb-lovers delight. White potatoes, boiled until soft and creamy. Peeled and gently mashed with your fingers. Combined with a mixture of smooth and sweet onions, pungent ginger and spicy green chillies, these potatoes are transformed into a beloved dish that goes extremely well with dosas, pooris or rotis. A dosa stuffed with these spicy potatoes is called a Masala Dosa and is one of the most asked-for dishes at an Indian diner or restaurant.
I think you can use this as a spread for freshly baked french bread or any other kind of bread with a fancy name. Mash it up a bit more and spread about a tbsp on a piece of sliced bread or cracker, and present as an unusual appetizer to your family and friends.
