Kal Dosai / Kal Dosa


Today's recipe is yet another soft dosa made in our households for breakfast or dinner.Kal dosa is popular dosa variety in South India and traditionally an iron griddle(kal means griddle Tamil) or earthen griddle is used,hence the name Kal dosai.
The highlight of this dosa is raw rice is used for this dosa and this dosa is very soft even after for several hours.
Since the dosa is very soft after cooling,its perfect for travel or kids lunch box.We usually smear the dosa with idly podi and sesame oil and packed in banana leaf.I personally prefer to have it with this spicy garlic chutney,drizzled with sesame oil.I often make this dosa for my kiddos lunch box.Off to the recipe..................

Ingredient
Quantity
Raw rice/pacharisi
1.5 cups
Urad dhal
1/2 cup+2 tbs
Fenugreek seeds/vendhayam
1 tsp
Salt
2 tsp
Oil
to cook dosa


   
 Method

  • Soak the rice ,uradhal with fenugreek seeds  in water together for 3-4 hours.After soaking completely drain the water and grind everything together in a wet grinder or blender to a fine paste with water as needed.Transfer it to a bowl,add salt and mix it well.Keep it in a warm place for 8-10 hours or overnight for fermentation
  • Next day or after the fermentation mix the batter well and take the required amount of batter to make dosa.Adjust the consistency with water.
  • Heat a griddle and one it becomes hot ,add a drop of oil and wipe it off with a paper and keep the flame in high.Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it into a thick circle.No need to spread it to a thin crepe.Once the pores started forming on the dosa,reduce the flame and cook it in a medium flame for 2 minutes.Drizzle a tsp of oil.
  • Flip it to the other side and cook it for 30-45 seconds.Remove it from the griddle.
  •  Serve it  with  chutney and idly podi. 



  • Batter consistency is very important to get a nice and soft dosa. 
  • Do not spread the dosa to a thin crepe.
  • After flipping the dosa if needed drizzle some oil.
  • I recommend to use an iron griddle to make the dosa.



Enjoy...............

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
