"Dosa"

Paniyaram (பணியாரம்) is a Chettinad Speciality dish (karaikudi region in TamilNadu) and it can be prepared in two ways either sweet or savory. The traditional savory paniyaram is served with Kara Chutney (spicy chutney prepared from onions,tomatoes). You can prepare a batter exclusively for paniyaram or if you are running out of time you can always use regular fermented dosa batter. In this recipe i have used leftover dosai batter and to add flavour i have added veggies & spices. This masala paniyaram is a perfect,guilt free evening snack and you can improvise it in million ways. You can try…

I always have Dosai batter in stock and it comes handy while trying to make quick breakfast or dinner. But at times I do forget the bowl of batter lying in fridge and it does become a bit sour after two days. Instead of wasting the sour batter you can try making this ragi rava roast[Finger Millet flour + Semolina crepes] and am sure your family will enjoy this breakfast.I served coconut chutney and tomato chutney as side dishes. However you could serve it sambar or molagapodi [GunPowder] too The following measurement approximately yields 12 medium sized dosas. Unlike dosa batter, this ragi rava batter has to be watery like our regular rava roast. Also you need to pour batter on a hot Dosa Tawa. If the temperature is not correct then it will difficult for you to remove dosa from the pan

This dosa is made with a watery rice batter. Unline the usual Dosa batter this is far more light and hence the dosas will be wafer thin. This is one of the popular delicacies of Karnataka region. You don’t need much time to prep for neer dosa and fermentation is not mandatory too. I prepared a spicy

I used white sorghum seeds to prepare the batter. I am planning to incorporate millet in our diet. Jowar has lots of health benefits including lowering cholesterol and even helps in weight loss too. Also this is Gluten-Free 🙂 A healthy alternative to our regular dosa batter.

Paneer Dosa was my first post in this blog and today read that post after so many years. Feeling nostalgic. I don’t update my blog regularly but I keep clicking photos of whatever I cook. Am yet to get a professional camera, I don’t eve

Another popular breakfast in TN. You have to get the proportions of flour & rava correctly or else dosai will not have the crisp texture.The batter has to rest for about an 1 hr atleast. It goes well with chutney/sambar/molagapodi. With the following measurement you can prepare around 10-12 dosa

If you have onions & molagapodi you can make even the boring ordinary ‘Dosa’ to a delicious one.

Started to explore Instagram recently and been updating my daily food menu there. It is always encouraging to see ‘likes’ & ‘comments’ for your recipes/pictures. I am planning to write a series of simple breakfast/dinner recipes that I have shared in IG ov

I used ‘Fox Millet’ (Thinai in Tamil) for the very first time. There are several food bloggers I follow in instagram, twitter and other social networking sites. It just helps me to know lots of facts about food, ingredients, various cuisines and as a whole its fun & a great learning too.

This is ready to eat Dosa. It need not be fermented.We can have it either with chutney or sambar.I prepared ‘carrot thogayal’ as a sidedish.
