Kadalai mavu dosai (Bengalgram/Besan flour dosai)

Kadalai mavu (Bengal gram/Besan flour dosai) dosai - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
Some recipe will be interesting and will come from our mom. When we say mom that we are very hungry. During college days i used to travel a lot in private bus so, by the time i return from college i will be very hungry. After refreshing, will be sitting for food. One day she didn't cook lunch so made this dosa which i felt very delicious. You might also like it.

Kadalai mavu (Bengal gram flour) - 1 cup
Aresi mavu (Rice flour) - 1/2 cup
Chopped onion - 1 (into small cubes)
Chopped green chili - 2
Curry leaves - 1 string
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tbsp
Salt - To taste
Sesame oil - 3 or 4 tbsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
Water - Required to mix the flours for dosai mavu consistency

Preparation method:-

In a tawa add 1 tbsp of sesame oil. When it is hot add mustard to splutter, urad dhal to golden brown colour. To this add chopped onion, chili, curry leaves and fry.
In a bowl mix the flours (bengal gram & rice). Add the above seasoning, water slowly to avoid lumps.
Required amount of salt is added. Asafoetida is added for digestion and mix all the ingredients well for dosai flour consistency.

Heat a tawa and add little oil. Now pour one ladle full of flour and make dosai. This dosai will be in beautiful & pleasant yellow colour.

You can take this even without any side dish. If you want to can take with coconut chutney or idli podi.

Hope you love this. It will be different and can be made in very short time.


Note: If you are left out with plain dosa dough and it is sour , don't worry add 2 ladle of kadalai mavu and mix it well. Fry mustard seed, urad dal, chili, ginger, chopped onion in little sesame oil and add to dough. You can make dosa and serve hot as new dish. Hope you don't waste the dough anymore.
