Chicken sausages are liked by everyone at home. They are easy and requires much less time to cook. They are very tasty too and nowadays it’s available everywhere.
Normally I used to roast chicken sausage for kids. Then I started to cook it in Indian way like how we make chicken masala. It tastes very good and it is an excellent side dish for chapathi, dosa, sambhar rice, rasam rice, curd rice, lemon rice etc..,
When it can be a best side dish for dosa, it can always be stuffed inside dosa to ‘chicken sausage dosa’. This is the idea behind the combination of South Indian dosa and Chicken sausage cooked in South Indian style.
I have shown three ways of making it- plain chicken sausage dosa, egg chicken sausage dosa and cheese chicken sausage dosa. Please follow the step-by-step pictures along with explanation.
This chicken sausage dosa tastes very good when eaten alone. Chutney, any variety of raita can be also be used as a side dish for chicken sausage dosa.
I have made an easy and healthy ladies finger raita as a side dish for this. My chithi taught me to make it in an easy way during hectic times. It can be used as a side dish for chapathi too. If anyone wants the recipe for it, let me know.
