Mushroom Dosa / Mushroom Roast / Mushroom Masal Dosa

       I love eating dosa with filling (cauliflower,carrot,onion,potato,mushroom) more than dosa with chutney/sambar. these varieties of dosa are popular in southern India...Almost in all vegetarian hotels they serve for both breakfast n dinner. Mushroom roast is my own recipe, quite similar to dry curry but tastes great with dosa...Try this !!!
Nutritional Benefits(Mushroom):Mushrooms contain about 80 to 90 percent water, and are very low in calories (only 100 cal/oz).Mushrooms are an excellent source of potassium, a mineral that helps lower elevated blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke.The latest findings show that white button mushrooms can reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
