Kuthiraivali Dosai/Barnyard Millet Dosa

For the 5th day in the fermented dosa series in Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon is a millet based dosa.
As these days millet cooking is getting popular,wanted to try some dosa with millets.I get the barnyard millet and fox tail millet here.So tried dosas with both the millets separately but everybody likes the barnyard millets dosa.
In this recipe I didn't add any rice and used only millet and urad dhal to make the batter.The dosa came out so crispy and I don't feel any difference in taste and tastes almost like the plain dosa made with rice.But needs to be consumed right off,it becomes slightly harder after cooling as there is no rice used.Since it was my first trial,I used a cup of millet and made the batter.

Kal Dosai / Kal Dosa

Today's recipe is yet another soft dosa made in our households for breakfast or dinner.Kal dosa is popular dosa variety in South India and traditionally an iron griddle(kal means griddle Tamil) or earthen griddle is used,hence the name Kal dosai.
The highlight of this dosa is raw rice is used for this dosa and this dosa is very soft even after for several hours.
Since the dosa is very soft after cooling,its perfect for travel or kids lunch box.We usually smear the dosa with idly podi and sesame oil and packed in banana leaf.I personally prefer to have it with this spicy garlic chutney,drizzled with sesame oil.I often make this dosa for my kiddos lunch box.Off to the recipe..................

Atukulu Dosa/Aval dosai/Riceflakes Dosa/Poha Dosa

In my fermented dosa series for this week of Mega Blogging Marathon edition in cooking Carnival is a spongy dosa made with rice flakes.This dosa is extremely soft without any addition of dhal.Soaking the atukulu/rice flakes in butter milk and proper fermentation makes this dosa so soft and fluffy.This dosa I learnt from a good friend of mine and makes it whenever I have leftover sour curd or buttermilk.Tomato chutney and red chilly coconut chutney is the perfect combo this spongy dosa.
