Make The Best Wedding Day Cookies

For the day 2 of final week in Cooking Carnival is onion,podi uthappam.Uthappam is a thick pancake like dosa can be made plain or with toppings.When it comes to toppings so many variations are made. Onion uthappam is a popular one and everybody likes it and every household has their own version. Coming to the recipe,I have adapted this recipe in a cookery show and its quite popular in a particular shop in Chennai.Its a onion uthappam sprinkled with a spicy garlic podi/powder and cooked using generous amount of ghee.This uthappam is served along with mint chutney and onion coriander chutney. The exact recipe for the podi/powder was not given but I tried my own version and used it. The podi came out so flavorful and when its sprinkled along with onion,it makes the uthappam so tasty.                                                                                                                                                                         

We are towards our final week of Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon and for this week I am sharing Adai,aapam and uthappam recipes.As these recipes also comes under dosa category,I decided to share. For the day 1,I am sharing an adai made with quinoa and lentils.Adai is made with of lentils and rice is most of the households in South India. But this recipe is rice free and I used quinoa,broken wheat.The taste of the adai is almost like the regular adai.The only thing needs to be careful is rinse the quinoa with water for several times.Otherwise it will end up in a bitter taste.Let's move on to the recipe..........                                                                                                                                                                                                             Quinoa Adai/Quinoa and Lentil Adai                                                                         Ba

Kari dosai is  popular in Madurai,in which minced mutton curry is topped and served with kurma.But I wanted to share a vegetarian version with minced soya curry.In the original recipe egg is also used on top of the minced mutton.Since its a vegetarian version I didn't use it.Also the dosa needs to be on the thicker side and the minced meat/soya is topped and cooked.This dosa doesn't need any side dish,it tatses good as such.Off to the recipe...                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Kari Dosai/Soya Kheema Dosa                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 25 minutes     Cooking time 2-3 minutes/dosa    Makes 3 dosas     Ingredients   For the stuffing/filling 

Today's recipe for the Cooking Carnival is a dosa with colorful filling resembles  veggie sandwich . I got the idea of making this sandwich dosa after seeing our BM buddies shared some sandwich recipes without bread. So tried this dosa one day for evening snack for my son and he loved it.Immediately included this dosa in my list to share for this theme. I mashed the potatoes and used it here also used some grated panner.One can replace the paneer with cheese and make it a cheesey dosa.The addition of  mint chutney  gives a very nice taste and this dosa tastes good as such.No need of any extra side dish for this one.But I serve it with coconut chuney and some sweet and spicy sauce.Off to the recipe...........                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sandwich Dosa /Sandwich Masal
