Coconut Dosa(Crepe)




My mom used to make different types of dosa for us when we were growing up.  Coconut dosa used to be a favorite of mine.  I made it last night for dinner. My daughter protested because she only likes regular dosa. But, I persuaded her to try it,and of course mom is always right, she liked it. This dosa can be prepared immediately after grinding.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 C grated fresh coconut
1 1/2 C par-boiled rice
1/2 C raw rice
3 T toor dal
1 1/2 T urad dal
1/2 T methi seeds
10 green chili(adjust to taste)
salt to taste
asafoetida

Method:
1. Soak rice and dal for 3 hours.
2. Grind with chili and water to a smooth batter. Add grated coconut and grind until smooth. Stir in salt and asafoetida. Add enough water to make a thin batter.
3. Heat griddle, pour  a ladle full of batter, and drizzle with oil. Cook on both sides till golden. Serve with chutney or chili powder(dosa powder).
