CUCUMBER DOSA

I have already posted the water melon dosa.  The Cucumber dosa  also has the similarity of watermelon dosa.   water-melon-dosa-tarboosini-dosa-dosa.html 

 During the rainy season, we get the long green cucumbers.  The inside portion is divided into three parts which can be seen from the picture posted below.  It is a nice, healthy breakfast if served with spicy chutney along with it.

Let us have a look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

1 long large cucumber

1 cup rice

2-3 green chilli

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp cumin seeds

1 small piece of ginger

2 garlic pods

2 tbs grated coconut (optional)

Salt

A pinch of asafoetida

A small piece of jaggery

Oil for making the dosa.

Method:

Wash and soak the rice  for 2 hours.

Peel the cucumber, cut it and remove the seeds.

Grate them and squeeze out the water and keep aside.


 

Do not throw the water as it is required to grind the rice.
 

Drain the rice and grind it along with the squeezed water, and other ingredients to a smooth paste.

Add salt, mix well.  Now mix the grated cucumber in it again mix well and keep aside for 2 hours.  You can make this instantly too.

Heat a tava, smear with oil when it is hot, pour one ladle of batter in it and spread.  You cannot spread it like the normal thin dosa, it is slightly on the thicker side.  Pour oil.    When the bottom side is cooked flip it to cook the other side too.   Minimum 7-10 minutes it takes to make one dosa.  Repeat the process for the remaining batter.  Serve hot with any kind of chutney, sauce.

Can make around 8-10 dosas.
