Yellow Cornmeal Dosa

This dosa is very similar to rawa dosa and tastes very much like rawa dosa, though it is made with yellow cornmeal. This is an instant dosa to make.

Ingredients

1 cup - Yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup - All purpose flour
1/4 cup - Curds / Yogurt
Salt to taste

Seasoning

1/4 tsp - Jeera
2 to 3 big - Shallots, chopped finely
1/2 ''piece - Ginger, grated finely
1 to 2 - Green chilies, chopped finely
1 sprig - Curry leaves, chopped finely
Sesame oil Or peanut oil

Method

1 ) Heat little oil in a pan, add jeera, then onion, green chili, ginger and curry leaves. Fry till onion is translucent.

2 ) To a mixing bowl, add cornmeal, all purpose flour, salt to taste, curds and mix well. Then add good amount of water to make a very thin batter. Batter should be thinner than dosa batter. Add the fried ingredients to the batter and mix in.

3 ) Heat a non- stick tawa on high heat. Tawa should be really very hot before pouring in the batter, so that the batter will sizzle when you are spreading the batter. Grease the tawa with little oil and wipe out excess oil.

4 ) Take one ladle full of batter and spread on the tawa starting from the sides and finishing it off in the center. You will not be able to spread this batter like the regular dosa batter. Lower the heat, then drizzle some oil on the sides and center of the dosa. When the bottom of the dosa is set and has become a golden brown, flip to the other side and cook. Take off the tawa, transfer to a plate and serve.

Again before pouring the batter for the next dosa, heat the tawa on high heat, get the tawa hot and then pour the batter then lower the heat.

Serve hot with chutney.
