Dosa/Pole

Ingredients

2 cups of raw rice

1/2 cup urad dal

1 tsp methi/fenugreek seeds

1 cup cooked rice

salt to taste

Method

Wash and soak the rice, dal and methi seperately for 3 to 4 hours. First grind the methi and dal with little water. Then grind the rice along with cooked rice. Mix dal and rice mixture throughly. Keep the batter to ferment overnight. Add salt.

To make dosas, heat tava, smear little oil on the tawa and pour in a big ladle of the batter on it. Allow it to spread naturally or you can spread it to the desired size. I sometimes spread to the size of masala dosa or sometime leave it to size of set dosa. Cover and allow it to cook.

Serve them hot with chutney of your choice. This goes to the dosa mela.

1.5 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup rice flour
3/4 cup Jaggery
1/2 cup fresh coconut grated
1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Mix jaggery with 1.5 cup of water in saucepan on the stove and keep stirring till jaggery dissolves completely. Turn off the fire. Add wheat flour, rice flour, mashed banana, coconut and cardamom powder into the jaggery liquid. Mix everything nicely. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Keep the dosa tawa on medium heat. Smear little oil or ghee. Pour the batter like normal dosa. Turn both sides till light red. Serve them hot with tea/coffee.

Neer Dosa/Pan Pole

According to me this is the simplest of dosa recipes. No elaborate methods, not too many ingredients! And it is simply delicious served with chutney for breakfast or accompanied with chicken curry for lunch/dinner. The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice (raw rice/basmathi rice)

water

salt to taste

Method:

Wash and soak the rice for 1-2 hours. If you are in a hurry you can soak it in hot water for 1/2 hour. Grind the rice along with the soaked water to a fine batter. Add salt and mix nicely.

Heat a fry pan. Smear little oil and pour the batter. Rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly. keep covered for 1 minute. Remove from the pan. Delicious Neer Dosa/Pan Polo is ready to serve. I usually serve it with chutney/leftover curry.

You can also prepare a mixture of fresh coconut and jaggery/sugar. And stuff the dosa with this mixture and roll the dosa. This is called portha pole in konkani.

This is my first enry for the event Dosa Mela hosted by Sri (cooking4allseasons).
