Muskmelon dosa
MUSKMELON DOSA
INGREDIENTS
- Idli rice or any rice – 1 cup
- Urad dal – 1 tbsp
- Red chilli – 3 or as per taste
- Freshly grated coconut – ¼ cup
- Chopped muskmelon – 1 cup
- Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
- Salt
- Oil or ghee as required
PREPARATION
Clean ,wash ,rinse and soak the rice + dal + methi seeds .
Soak for minimum 1 hr or 2 or more.
In a mixie jar take the muskmelon and grind .
Now add the coconut + red chilli + fennel seeds and blend .
Finally add the soaked rice . Before adding rice, drain off the complete water .
Again grind till fine batter .
If required add water .
The batter has to be like dosa batter of pouring consistency ,not very thin and not very thick .
Transfer the batter to a bowl ,add required salt and mix well with clean hands.
*Mixing the batter well is very important for any batter like dosa ,idli ,dhokla ,vada …
Batter is ready to use .We can start making dosas . Instant dosa will not be soft and spongy .
I like to ferment the batter – because fermented foods are highly nutritious and easier to digest ,due to the beneficial micro-organisms that are involved in the fermentation process, adding live enzymes, B vitamins and protein to the food.
Cover and keep the batter for fermentation for few hrs or for 6 to 8 hrs .
Fermentation time depends on the weather .
Proper fermentation is important for spongy ,fluffy an porous dosa.
METHOD
Just give a mix , after fermentation ,don’t over mix the batter .
Heat a pan .
Wipe it with a oily cloth .
Pour the batter on the hot pan .
*The pan has to be hot while pouring .
Gently spread it .
Lower the flame to medium and cook .
Drizzle some oil or ghee all over .
Flip and cook on the other side also .
Serve hot with spicy coconut chutney .
NOTES

- I have added fennel seeds ,you can add jeera /coriander seeds or any other spice of your choice.
