WATERMELON RIND DOSA !!!!!!!!


Best out of waste...yes...my today's recipe is best out of waste. Now onwards after eating the red part of watermelon, don't throw the white part. Remove the skin & chop it & use it in making yummy & healthy dosas. For kids or those who loves sweet dosas, you can add jaggery to he batter &  make sweet dosas & serve it with butter. They are even more tasty & kids will love that version for sure.


                                        
                                  (white part of watermelon)

Ingredients:

2 cup Dosa Rice
A half piece of rind from a medium sized watermelon 
2 tsp methi seeds
1 Cup Poha
Salt to taste
Oil for greasing the pan
                              
                  
METHOD:-

1. Soak the rice with methi seeds for around 4 hours.
2. Peel the skin from the watermelon to get only the white rind part. Chop it into medium size pieces.
3. Add it into the blender along with rice and methi seeds and blend it into a coarse paste. Add little water if necessary.
4. Wash poha well and add it to the coarse paste above blend it into a smooth paste. The Batter should be slightly on the thicker side.
5. Pour into a wide container with enough height for the batter to ferment. Add salt & mix well.
6. Keep the batter closed  in a warm place for 8 hours or overnight.
7. Heat a pan and add few drops of oil..Reduce the flame to medium and pour the batter in the centre of the pan. Spread it a little ( don't make dosa thin, it should be thick).
8. Cover it with a lid & cook till top part is cooked.
9. Remove from fire & serve it along with chutney/sambar/pickle.





HAPPY COOKING :))))))
