Sandra, this one's specially for you. The recipe is from a cookbook. The number of servings is a guess. Ingredients:
1/2 lb semolina |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 pinch salt |
2 teaspoons sour milk |
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
4 potatoes, peeled |
2 green chilies |
1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped |
3 onions, chopped |
salt |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder |
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds |
1/4 teaspoon ginger or 1/4 teaspoon garlic |
Directions:
1. To make dosais: Soak semolina in water in a bowl. 2. Add sour milk, soda bircarbonate and a pinch of salt. 3. Blend well together with an egg beater, till an even creamy mixture results. 4. Leave overnight in a mixing bowl. 5. Next morning, heat a tava (pancake pan). 6. Pour a little ghee/oil on it (I use oil). 7. Use 2-3 tbsps. 8. full of batter at a time. 9. You have to pour it in the middle of the pan and then spread it into a circle as for pancakes. 10. Cover with a lid for the mixture to cook. 11. Remove lid and put a filling of the potato mixture in the centre of the dosai. 12. Fold over like an omelette, adding small amounts of ghee/oil to brown and prevent dosai from sticking. 13. Serve with coconut chutney. 14. For filling: Boil whole potatoes till done. 15. Dice coarsely. 16. Heat a tbsp. 17. of oil in a skillet. 18. Add mustard seeds. 19. When they stop spluttering, add finely sliced/ chopped onions and fry till golden brown. 20. Add other spices. 21. Fry for a few seconds. 22. Add diced potatoes. 23. Blend well. 24. Use in dosais as required. |
