Carrot Dosa

If its one of those weekdays and you have no idea what to make for dinner, you want to just scrape the left overs in your fridge but you already did that yesterday! (No - did not happen in our house yesterday! LOL!), this is probably a quick recipe to follow.

I like to make simple but different types of dosas like this one here - these are easy to make - and a serving of vegetable goes along with it in disguise. Moms - you can understand that!

So, here is our dosa of the day - Carrot Dosa.

Little bit of pre work needed here is that you have to soak rice for at least a couple of hrs before preparing the batter. Take about 2 cups of regular rice - I used our everyday basmati rice. Soak in hot water for 2-3 hrs. You can add toor daal to this if you want - then that would make carrot adai, which is another great option!

Grate a couple of carrots. Chop up 1-2 green chillies. And you need the rest of the ingredients here - some red chillies, jeera, coriander seeds, a little bit of black peppers, some chopped ginger.

 

Move the soaked rice to a blender and blend to a coarse consistency. 

 

Now add all the other ingredients to the coarse rice batter. Blend together well.

 

Blend well into a smooth batter.

 

Look at that color! Almost looks like carrot kheer - but definitely does not taste like kheer!

 

Now, just make dosas out of this batter immediately. You can make them like regular dosas.

 

Serve hot immediately with plain ol' coconut chutney and sambar. Or with just molaga podi. Or with Sugar..or with whatever you like.

 

How easy and nice is that? A bit of advice though - eat this hot. Do not let this cool and then eat - they kind of become tough when its cold, because its just rice batter.

 

Enjoy. Peace Out!
