BM14:Day3: I had bookmarked this recipe from Rak's Kitchen. Had this in draft for a while now as well. Maybe I had waited this long to post for the "Dosa Theme". Love the color(reminds me of a bright spring top that is in the back of my closet raring to see the sun. :-)). Love the taste of this tangy dosa too. Plus points for the fact that this doesn't have to be fermented. So "batter-to-dosa" is possible within a matter of 30 minutes. Sweet!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Idli Rice
- 2/3 Cup Red Poha, softened with little water
- 3 Large "Very Ripe" Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Red Chili powder
- Salt as needed
- Water as needed
- Oil as needed for cooking the Dosa
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- 3/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/2 Tsp Fennel Seeds (Optional)
- 1/4 Tsp Cumin Seeds (Optional)
- 1 tsp Split and Hulled Black Gram/Urad Dhal
- A pinch of asofoetida
- 1 Stalk Curry leaves, finely chopped (Optional)
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion, finely chopped (optional but highly desired)
- Finely chop the tomatoes. Keep the other ingredients handy.
- Wash the soaked rice in 2-3 changes of water.
- Grind the Rice + Poha + Tomatoes + Chili powder to a smooth paste with little water. The batter consistency should be a little runny than the usual Dosa batter. Add salt as needed. Season the batter with the ingredients under "Seasonings".
- Heat a griddle/Tava until it is hot and sizzles when water is sprinkled. Pour a ladle-ful of batter into the center and spread it into a nice circle. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and over the dosa. Place a dome lid over the top and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side.
- Fold and serve hot with any spicy chutney of choice.
Colorful & flavorful!

ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. In place of idli rice can i use ordinary rice? I love instant dosas. So this is it for me.
