Cheesy Peas Dosa

This is very healthy and instant dosa that can be made within 5 minutes. Also its highly nutritious dosa that can be given to kids. Kids will love this as it looks very colorful. My daughter loved the color and the dosa even. You can serve this with any chutney or just as it is for kids. Coconut chutney and tomato chutney will be very good dip for this dosa. 

Ingredients:

Rice flour - 1 cup
Besan/Gram flour - 1/2 cup
Carrot - 2 (grated - about 1 cup)
Cheese - 1/2 cup (shredded)
Salt - to taste
Oil - for drizzling

For grinding:
Frozen Green Peas - 1/2 cup
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Green chilli - 3 or 4

Note:
You can use dry peas even. But you need to soak it overnite or atleast 6 hrs and then cook the peas and then grind it to paste.

Method:

1) First put all the ingredients in a blender and make a fine paste of it.

2) Transfer the ground paste to a bowl, also add rice flour and besan.

3)Add required salt and mix well. Add necessary water and get to dosa batter consistency.

4)Then heat a tawa. Take one laddle of batter and spread like a dosa. Sprinkle some grated carrot on the dosa. Also add some shredded cheese to the dosa. Drizzle some oil over it. Cook it in low flame until the dosa gets well cooked. Do not flip the dosa, as the  added cheese will turn like burnt one. (this is one method)

5) Second method is pour the dosa batter, add grated carrot alone. Let it cook by flipping on either side. (This mini dosa for my daughter)

6) Remove the dosa from the tawa and add the grated cheese while its hot.

Instant, healthy and cheesy peas dosa is ready in minutes. Serve it immediately with tomato chutney or coconut chutney.

Adai

Adai, this is one of the very common recipe, I make once in a week or atleast once in two weeks. We can do this for breakfast or for dinner even. But if you are making this for dinner, should have it little bit earlier. Since we use 3 dals in this dosa, its hightly nutritious and very tasty also. This dosa needs to be cooked in very low flame, as the dal needs to be well cooked. Only then we can get the crispy and well cooked dosa. Its takes about 5 mins for making single dosa. Even if its more time consuming one, the end product will be tasty one.

You can have it just like that, as it contains all spices in it. Also you can serve it with coconut chutney. This adai with Aviyal (Adai Aviyal) is one of the famous and special menu in my hometown. Both together makes a grreat combination.

Ingredients:

Rice - 2 cups
Chana dal/Bengal gram - 3/4 cup
Toor dal - 1/4 cup
Skinned urad dal/urad dal - 3 tbsp
Red chilli - 7 or 8 (can add more if you want really spicy adai)
Onion - 1 (finely chopped)
Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
Salt - to taste
Sesame oil/Gingelly oil - 1/4 cup

Method:

1) Soak rice and dal (chana dal, toor dal, urad dal) together for about 6 to 7 hrs.

2) Put all together along with red chillies in a blender. Also add salt.

3) Add water and make a little coarse and thick batter of it. (Don't make it too watery or thin, as we do for usual dosa batter)

4) Add the chopped onion and curry leaves to the batter.

5) Mix well. Heat a tawa and pour about 1 laddle of batter and spread it like dosa (little bit thick dosa).
Drizzle some gingelly oil over it.

6) Let it cook for about 2 mins in medium flame. Flip to the other side. Drizzle some oil over it.

7) Cook both the sides very well by flipping on either sides for about 2 to 3 times, until its brown on both the sides.

Serve it hot. Crispy and healthy adai is ready to taste now.
