Sweet Wheat Dosai

In my school days, sometimes mom prepares this dosai for evening snacks. This can be prepared quickly and easily with the ingredients available at home. Few days back I prepared this as after school snack for my daughter. she tasted it for first time and loved it.
It is rich in fiber and Iron as we add jaggery.

Lets see how to prepare it.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Jaggery powder - 1/3 cups
water - 1 cup
elachi powder - 1 pinch
Dry ginger powder / sukku powder - 1 pinch
cashew nuts - 1/2 tbsp ( chopped)
grated coconut -1 tbsp
ghee -2 tsp


Preparation:

1.Add Jaggery, sukku powder with water and bring to boil. (no need of string consistency)
2.Add elachi powder, flour and jaggery water and mix to a batter consistency
3. Now roast cashews, coconut in a tsp of ghee and add it to the batter.

4. Now heat the pan and make small and thick dosai (like oothappam thick)
5. Sprinkle little ghee on the edges and cook well on both the sides.

Serve Hot or warm.

Tips:
1.Always keep extra 1/2 cup of hot water ready. In case if the jaggery mixed water is boiled for little long time that wont be sufficient to have batter consistency.
2.Instead of grated coconut, tiny coconut pieces can be added.
3. The ratio given is medium sweet, adjust according to your taste.

Egg Dosai / Muttai Dosai

Another mouthwatering dosai variety it is. Love egg dosai with any non-veg salna or curry, that will enhance its taste more. It tastes heavenly even without any side dish. Lets see how to make a egg dosa in a simple way.

Ingredients:

Dosa batter
Eggs - 2 (for 2 dosa)
pepper powder - 1 tea spoon
salt - a pinch
oil- 1 tea spoon

Preparation:

1. In a pre-heated dosa tawa, spread a spoon of dosa batter.
2. break the egg shell and pour it on dosa, and spread it evenly on the dosa with a small spoon.
3. immediately sprinkle half a tea spoon of pepper powder and a pinch of salt and half tea spoon of oil evenly.
4. cook well on both the sides.
5. serve with your favorite curry or you can have it as it is.

I served it with Mutton Chukka...

Notes:
1. sprinkle pepper and salt immediately after spreading the egg on dosa, or it will get dried.
2.do not make too thin or too think dosa, it needs to be in a medium thickness.
3. you can wither beat the eggs and spread in the same way. I wanted to have that yellow and white colors in dosa so made it this way.
