Recipe For Watermelon Dosa
Ingredients
-
Rice - 1 cup
- Grated Watermelon (white portion) - 2 cups
- Green Chillies - 2
- Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tsp
- Asafoetida - a pinch
- Black pepper powder (optional)
- Salt
- Oil
Method
-
Wash and soak the rice for 2-3 hrs.
- Grate the white portion of water melon. Squeeze the water out of the water melon and keep aside.
-
Drain the rice and grind it along with green chilly, asafoetida and the water squeezed out of the melon to a smooth paste.
- Add the grated water melon and mix well. You will get a thick batter like idli batter.
- Mix black pepper powder (optional). Allow to ferment for 4-5 hours.(You can make dosas immediately also but it tastes good if it is little bit sour).
-
Heat the non stick tava. When it becomes hot apply oil and rub it with a piece of onion.
-
Pour one ladle of batter and spread little bit. Put one tsp oil.
- When the bottom side is cooked, flip to cook the other side also. Pour one tsp oil again. Cook the same till you get brown spots on both the sides.
- You cannot make this dosa as you make the the normal dosa. The structure will be somewhat like uttappa.
Variation
- Instead of watermelon, try other ingredients like cucumber, yellow squash or bottle gourd.
Serving Suggestion
- Serve the hot watermelon dosa with any chutney. If it becomes cold, the taste is different.
