Capsicum - Carrot Multi Grain Dosai
( பல தானிய காய்கறி தோசை )
Ingredients: ( makes 4 to 5 Nos. )
Multi Grain Dosai Flour ( பல தானிய தோசை மாவு ) - 1 cup
Green Capsicum ( பச்சை குடைமிளகாய் ) - 1 medium size
Carrot ( காரட் ) - 1
Onion ( வெங்காயம் ) - 1
Shredded Cheese ( துருவிய பாலாடை கட்டி ) - a few tbsp
To temper - Mustard seeds and asafoetida. ( தாளிக்க - கடுகு , பெருங்காயம் )
Sesame Oil / Gingely Oil ( நல்லெண்ணெய் ) - a few tsp
STEPS:
Mix a cup of readily available multi grain flour with 2 cups of water and little salt. If you are not able to purchase the flour from supermarket, you can mix your own choice of flours like rye, ragi, wheat or any 3 combinations of flour. The batter should be in a running consistency.
Slice the capsicum length wise. Peel and thin slice the onions in rings. Slice the carrots the same way.
In a pan, heat oil and temper with mustard seeds and asafoetida, pour over the flour batter. Mix well.
In a hot tava / flat grid pour a ladle of the batter and spread evenly. Place few pieces of capsicum, carrot and onion uniformly.
Pour oil along the edges and on the vegetables.
(You can cover the dosai with a lid for a while and then flip over to the other side. Flipping is easier as the batter and vegetables are cooked evenly.)
Turn over when one side is done. Keep the flame on low heat and cook the vegetables side of the dosai.
 |
| Place the vegetable slices evenly on the dosai surface. |
 |
| Once removed from the tava, spread the shredded cheese when the dosai is hot. The melted cheese adds taste to the dish. |
 |
| The hot dosai can be eaten without cheese as well. |
My Notes:
A twist given to the routine dosai is a welcome change. Imagination is ours to create many varieties with the vegetables pulled out from your refrigerator. Choose the preferred vegetables and relish the dosai with coconut chutney and sambar.
Cheese is added as an attraction for people who do not favour multigrain flour. But one can enjoy the original flavor of the grain without cheese.
