WATERMELON DOSA

WATERMELON DOSA
Hmmm........... Summer has begun and watermelons are pouring everywhere... Same thing happened in my mom’s place. Bro got a huge sized watermelon and it was not that sweet and I didn’t feel like eating it.... I thought what can be done with the fruit other than juice and I remembered about a recipe in a magazine... Yes.... Watermelon Dosa..... Now don’t worry that it will be sweet... check out the recipe....
Ingredients:
Dosa rice – 2 cups, Grated Fresh Coconut – 1 cup, Sugar – 1 spoon, Green chillies – 1 to 2, Watermelon juice – as much as u require for grinding, Salt as per taste, Oil – ¼ cup.

Dosa Batter

 Preparation Method:

  1. Soak the rice overnight.  
  2. In the morning grind the rice along with green chillies and fresh coconut using watermelon juice to form a batter (normal dosa batter consistency).  
  3. Add salt to the batter according to your taste.  
  4. Heat tava and add less than a spoon of oil just to grease the tava.  
  5. Pour one ladle full of the batter in the center of the tava and spread it outwards in a circular pattern. 
  6. Pour half a spoon of oil over the dosa and allow it to cook. (if desired a lid can be used to close the tava while dosa is allowed to cook).  
  7. Both the sides of the dosa can be cooked in order to get a crispy dosa.
