MIX DAL DOSA.....


Dosa is something that one can eat at any meal of the day , It can be done in various ways and they always [almost] come out right.
I love to experiment with Dosas and always on a look out for some good recipe or i make my own recipe which is quite convenient
The above dosa is a mix dal dosa
The recipe will follow.

Thanks for your overwhelming response!!!!!
Yesterday I was writing this post late into the night and was so sleepy that I just could not continue to write the recipe and hence I left it to be completed today.
So all my dear friends here is the recipe for you


INGREDIENTS

2 cups yellow Moong dal
1 cup masoor dal
½ cup chana dal
1 cup sour curd
½ cup Rava /suji or semolina
Green chilies finely chopped
Coriander finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seed powder
Salt to taste
Oil for frying the dosas


METHOD

Mix all the dals and soak overnight.
Grind them to a fine paste in the morning or after 8 hours of soaking.
Add the remaining ingredients to the dosa mixture.
Let it rest for about 1 hour.
Heat a griddle or Tawa.
When hot, reduce the flame and smear with a little oil.
Pour a ladle full of dosa batter to form a thick pancake like circle.
These dosas are best eaten thick.
When brown on one side, flip
Let it go brown on the other side too. You can smear it with a little home made ghee for extra flavour.
Serve with a hot bowl of sambhar and green coconut chutney.
