sweet dosa
Everybody especially the kids love this dosa because it is sweet and something different from the ordinary.
Ingredients
( Serves 4-5 people)
- Rice – 4 cups
- Grated coconut– 1 cup
- Parched Rice (poha) - half cup
- Grated Jaggery - half cup
- Fenugreek seeds (methi) - 2 teaspoons
- Cucumber - 1
- Turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- Cardamom
Method
- Soak the rice and the fenugreek seeds in a container with just enough water to cover for an hour.
- In a separate bowl, soak the parched rice for 15 minutes (with very little water)
- Peel the cucumber and cut into small pieces.
- Now grind together the rice, parched rice and cucumber pieces. Do not add water (the cucumber juice should suffice). The batter should be roughly as thick as idly batter.
- To this batter, add jaggery, a pinch of turmeric, cardmom powder and salt to taste.
- Leave the batter overnight. Do not refrigerate.
- In the morning, prepare thick dosas (do not spread). The dosas will turn out very fluffy. Serve hot with ghee or butter.
Tips
- Puffed rice can be used instead of parched rice.
- If cucumber is not available, use more coconut.
Preparation time: 1 hour , soak overnight
