Watermelon Dosa

Yupeeeeeee! its the melon season and I'm enjoying them every day :)

Water melons are one of the best body coolants and are filling for the evening grumble too.

I made melon cake for my blog's birthday and really dint want to throw away the white rind portion of the melon. So came up with an interesting dosa with it :)

It was equally tasty and awesome :)

You can also check out the Moar kolambu that I made long back with the white rind of the melon. :)

Ingredients:

Par boiled rice(pulungarisi) - 1 1/2 cup
Melon pieces(white rind portion alone) - 1 cup
Scrapped coconut - 1/2 cup
Salt - for taste

Method:

Soak the par boiled rice in water for two hours.

Puree the white portion of the watermelon.

Grind the soaked rice, coconut and melon puree together into a smooth batter.

Add salt to the batter and mix well. The batter doesn't have to ferment.

The dosa can be done in two methods.

Keep the batter consistency slightly thick and pour a ladle full of batter in the center of the skillet and spread it like normal dosa. Add a tsp of oil and roast on both the sides.

You can add a little water to the batter and pour a ladle full of batter starting from the edges in a circular way. Since the batter is loose it will automatically fill the middle portion. Add a spoon of oil to it. Turn the dosa and roast it on both the sides. (Like rava dosa)

I personally liked the second method better :)

Yummy melon dosa is ready to serve. Serve it hot with tomato onion chutney.

Ingredients:

Tomato - 2
Onion - 1
Red chillies - 2
Salt - for taste

Method:

Chop onion and tomatoes roughly.

Take a tsp of oil in a pan and drop the red chillies followed by chopped tomatoes and onion. Fry for few mins until the raw smell leaves. Switch off and allow it to cool for a while.

Grind them with enough salt. Temper with mustard seeds.

Tomato onion chutney is ready to eat :)

Note:

Make the dosas just before serving and enjoy them hot. They have a tendency to harden after a while.
