Cucumber Dosa

Exotic ain't it ? You thought right. 

Cucumber dosa is super easy to make. It gives out a heavenly aroma while cooking. Not to mention the amazing health benefits :) The recipe is inspired from a Konkani dish "Taushe Bhakri" which is basically Cucumber rotti. Its almost the same batter with a few small changes.

So lets get down to business ? 😀

INGREDIENTS
(makes approx 10 dosas)

For the batter:

Grated cucumber - 1 cup

Grated coconut - 1/2 cup

Wheat flour - 2 cups

Wheat Rava (any kind / size) - 2 cups 

Green chillies - 4 (maybe more if you want it spicy)

Sugar or jaggery (optional) - 1 tsp

Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp (optional)

Salt - as per taste

Method:

1. Take the green chillies and salt into a large vessel (which can hold the batter).
2. Smash the chillies and salt together until its a coarse paste. Add some water and the sugar into it.
3. Add the grated coconut and salt and mix it well. Add a cup of water.
4. Now start adding the wheat flour little by little and mix well. Form a thin batter.
5. In the end, add the rava and mix it well. Since the rava needs to absorb some water, let the batter have a thin consistency. Keep it aside for 10 mins.
6. Batter should be of dosa batter consistency. Add water or flour to even out either ways.
7. Add in coriander leaves if you want and mix well. Cucumber dosa batter is done.

Making the dosas:

1. Heat up a griddle / tava. Use medium heat. (I prefer to use cast iron - the least toxic of all. Also a healthy choice.)
2. Mix the batter well before making each dosa. 
3. Take a ladle of the batter and pour it on the griddle. 
4. Spread the batter in a spiral way, starting from the center and moving outwards.
   
   
   
   
5. Add a few drops of oil around the dosa. Cover and cook for 30 secs.
6. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 30 secs. 
7. Serve with ghee / butter.
