Carrot Dosa

We (atleast many) always look for a change in everything. Taking diversion from the usual track is exciting and feels different too. If not we wouldn't be exploring so many things. The same thing holds good with food too.

Carrot dosa is slightly different from the normal dosa. Healthy and tasty.

Once I had very less quantity of dosa batter but had to serve four people. My mother used to add Wheat flour or rice flour in such situations. I was thinking of alternatives to modify the batter. Why not add grated carrot? I tried it and worked out well. Here it is for you...

Ingredients:
Carrot - 1 Small
Green Chilli - 2
Rava - 1 Tsp
Dosa batter - 1 Cup

Method:

Dosa Batter Preparation:

1. Soak Rice and Urad dhal with proportion 3:1 and 1 Tsp of fenugreek in water for 3 hours. Do not add more than 1 Tsp fenugreek as it will bring bitter taste. It is to soften the batter.
2. Grind the mixture (rice, dhal & Fenugreek) and keep it aside for 3-4 hours before using it for dosa.

Carrot Dosa:

1. Grate Carrot and chop green chilli.
2. Slightly fry the rava
3. Take 1 Cup of dosa batter.Add the grated carrot, chopped chilli and rava to it.
4. Spread it in Tawa as we make normal dosa. You should be slightly careful with this as the carrot might get struck.
5. Crispy and healthy dosa is ready.

Nutritional Fact:
