It is a pain in the neck to decide what to cook for every meal when you have to stretch your groceries to avoid going out aka Covid 19 lock down. My mom's suggestion for last night was instant poha dosa. Poha is rice flakes. Got this recipe from my aunt. My kids prefer "regular"dosa, and always protest when I make any other kind. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter tasted it and said she liked it and even asked for second serving. Now, that's a big win in my book.
Ingredients:
1 Cup parboiled rice or idly rice
1 Cup raw rice
1 Cup poha, soaked in thick plain yogurt
1 green chili
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
5-6 curry leaves
1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled
salt to taste
1 Tablespoon oil
Method:
1. Soak rice and poha separately for 2 hours.
2. Grind rice to a smooth batter in a blender or grinder.
3. Add soaked poha and grind to smooth batter.
4. Blend chili, ginger, curry leaves, and cilantro to a paste.
5. Stir in paste to batter. Add salt. Add oil to the batter and mix well.
6. Heat griddle. Pour 1/2 cup batter in the center of the griddle. Use a ladle to spread batter into a thick disk. Cover with a lid. Cook on both sides by flipping dosa once.
7. Repeat process with all of the batter. Serve hot with any chutney of your choice.
This is a quick and easy dosa. There is no need to ferment the batter.
