Hello, this is Lakshmi Jayaraman once again from London. After having a good response to my previous recipe., I am now sending a delicious and easily preparable snack, which will catch any gourmet's fancy. This dosa can even be packed in a lunch box, as it remains soft and fluffy even when cold.

INGREDIENTS

 

Soft rice flakes : 1 cup
Rice : 2 cups
Sour Curd : 3/4 cup
Fresh Coconut milk : 1/2 cup (or Coconut milk pwd : 2 tbsp)
Cooking Soda : 1/4th tsp
Salt : to taste
Sugar : 1 tsp

 

METHOD

 

Wash the rice flakes and mix the curd in it overnight. Soak the rice separately in water. The next day, grind the rice to a fine paste, adding salt. Add the poha, sugar  and coconut milk (or the coconut milk powder) and grind further while adding little water, if necessary. Remove in a vessel and add the soda and mix well. The batter should be thick enough to pour in a small saucepan. Pour a spoon of oil in a hot saucepan, and pour 2 ladle full of the dosa batter into it. Hold the saucepan and turn it around so that the entire saucepan is coated with the dosa batter. Pour a tsp full of oil around the edges of the dosa and keep it covered. Take care to have a medium flame. After a few minutes, turn the dosa. Keep it covered again. Remove when both sides are done. Serve hot with onion chutney.
