Recently when we went to a friend’s house for dinner. We were talking about food and that time she was telling about this interesting Sorakkai dosa. As her family members are bit choosy in eating veggies, she mask this bottle gourd this way and make dosa. I noted down the recipe from her and tried it yesterday. It turned out very well. Since I added red chili, toor dal and chana dal, it tasted like a thin adai dosa. We usually make dosa batter using idli rice and urad dal and ferment it for 8 hours. But for this dosa we are not using Urad dal. Bottle gourd gives softness to the dosa. The addition of toor dal gives softness and chana dal gives crispiness to the dosa. You can add 1/2 cup of Idli rice and 1/2 cup of Raw rice to this Sorakkai dosa. Even you can use Kodo millet or little millet instead of rice to make a very healthy dosa. Also check out
