Vegetable Dosa

By the title you would think it is the usual dosa topped with vegetables, which even I am not so excited about. Dosa is the best and easy one when you think about something for breakfast or dinner during your weekdays for most of the south Indians. But I feel when we have this as our regular food, there should be some nutrients added to it. My mom used to give dosa/uthappam topped with carrots/onions which is a good way, but I do not really get excited about those vegetables on top of dosa. So I made a variation to this (grind the vegetables) , for 1 kg of dosa batter you could do the below

carrots - 2
onion- 1
green/red chillies - 6 -7 (or change this based on your spice level)
beans- 10-15
cabbage- small one (or say 10-15 leaves)
Channa dhal- 1 spoon.
salt as required  just for the vegetable(remember dosa batter will have salt in it)

Method: (This is the same method as porial)
     Cut the onion, chillies, carrots, beans and cabbage. heat oil in a pan and add the channa dhal, when it browns add the green/red chillies, fry it for a minute and add the carrot , beans and cook for 5 to 10 mins and add the cabbage and cook for 10 more minutes adding salt.

Now cool it and grind it (dont make it very fine paste ). Add this mixture into the dosa batter and make dosas. This will look and taste almost like Adai.

  1. I tried it out immediately, yesterday. it turned out to be very good. one suggestion , is if we add little asafoetida to the batter it will give good flavour to the dosa
