Default Kal Dosai & Thakkali Kuzambu - a tempting combination !

This dosai is the soft variety, ideal to carry when travelling.

This can be made completely without oil also, if you prefer.

Looks white & will not become very crisp.

Boied rice - 1 cup

Raw rice - 1 cup

Urad dhal - ½ cup

Wash & soak everything together for 6 hrs.

Grind to a fine paste, adding salt.

Ferment for 12 hrs & make dosais.

After spreading the first side, cover & cook till that side is cooked.

Then turn over &cook the other side.

Thakkali Kuzambu;

Tomatoes - ½ kg

Tamarind paste - 2 tsp

Sambar powder - 3 tsp

Grated coconut - ½ cup

Onions - 2 – cut into long pieces

Green chillies - 2 – slit

Salt

To temper:

Oil - 1 tbsp

Mustard seeds - ½ tsp

Curry leaves - few

Peel tomatoes by immersing in boiling water for 2 mts, taking out & plunging in cold water.

Mash them with hand or potato masher.

Add 1 cup of warm water to coconut & extract milk.

Heat oil, temper mustard seeds & when they splutter,add onions , green chillies & curry leaves.

When they are well fried, add mashed tomatoes, salt & sambar powder.

Add coconut milk also.

When all ingredients start to boil together, simmer the stove for a few mts.

Remove when all ingredients are well blended.
