Mini Dosa

Egg Dosa

This is one South Indian food I can eat daily is Dosa or should I call it the “DOSA”, which is a fermented crepe or pancake made from rice. Given that the very basic recipe for dosa can be made with different twists makes this an awesomely versatile like neer dosa, set dosa, paper dosa, ghee roast, masala dosa, rawa dosa, wheat dosa. The best part is when it’s thin its crispier, which I find difficult to achieve when it comes to dosa but now in case of eggs and this is why I can make only mini dosas. Traditionally accompanied by sambar and coconut chutney, I have made it a bit healthy with minimal masala and pounded it with vegetable filling than smashed potatoes and added an egg fry to add some proteins to it. It is better to be eaten when served hot.

For the Dosa
Ingredients
·       1 cup of rice
·       1/3 cup skinless split black gram (urad dal)
·       1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds

·       Oil 1tsp per mini dosa

Preparation
1.      Wash the rice and black gram thoroughly and then add the fenugreek seeds and soak them in water overnight.
2.      Drain the water and put the mix in a grinder with water and salt until it is a smooth paste; not runny. The consistency of the batter should be such that it thickly coats a spoon dipped in it.
3.      Let this mix stand for another 4-6 hours until slightly fermented, stir the batter with a ladle.
4.      Now in a flat pan, heat oil and spread it and make it into thin flat pancakes. When the upper surface begins to look cooked flip it and allow cooking for 1 minute after flipping.
