INSTANT AVALAKKI / POHA DOSA

 

 

                                        

 

I'm a dosa lover and I love to gorge on different varieties of dosa. I prepared this spongy,slightly rubbery dosa yesterday. Since this is an instant variant,it doesn't require fermentation.There are varied recipes for this dosa. Some incorporate ground batter of flattened rice with dosa batter. In case you are running out of dosa batter,you can try this version. I refrained from adding baking soda,as it is not good for gut health.

 

                                         

 INGREDIENTS :

FLATTENED RICE- 1 1/2 CUPS

SEMOLINA- 1 CUP

WATER- 2 CUPS

SALT O TASTE

CURD- 1 CUP

PROCEDURE :

1. Rinse flattened rice for couple of times to get rid of impurities. Then soak it along with semolina in 2 cups of water.

2. Allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes. Then grind the soaked ingredients to fine batter.

3. Take out the batter in a wide bowl and combine curd,salt,water if required and whisk it well.

4. The batter should be of dosa batter consistency.

 

5.Brush oil on a dosa pan and heat it. When its hot enough,spread the batter. Drizzle oil on the surface and sides.

 

6. Slide the cooked dosas and enjoy it with any accompaniment of your choice.    

Chapati dough in a mixer grinder

                                          

                                                          

    

Of late. I have been viewing quite a few videos,wherein the chapati dough is kneaded in the mixer jar. I have a wet grinder,that comes with the atta kneader attachment. But I wanted to try this in a mixer grinder. Moreover,after preparing capsicum gravy,I was tired and little lethargic to knead the dough with my hands and hence resorted to this method. The chapati were really very soft and fluffy. If you want to prepare chapatis effortlessly,then you can definitely try this method.  

                                      

 PROCEDURE :

1. Take the wheat flour in a mixer jar. Add requisite amount of salt and oil and blend for couple of seconds.

2. The dough will have a crumble consistency at this stage. Now sprinkle water and run the mixer grinder for few more seconds and switch off.

3. Don't pour excess water,as the dough will turn soggy. Take care to sprinkle water.

4. Now switch off to check the consistency  If you find the dough to be bit sticky,then sprinkle dough and roll it into chapatis.
