SPICY AKKI - KAI DOSAE (RICE-COCONUT)


This is a recipe I learnt from a friend.  This is a very simple and very tasty snack. You can say it has all-in-one taste,  in the sense that it has all the required  tastes... sweet, sour, salt and spicy.  And hence, can be had without any accompaniments. This is also an instant dosae except that the rice and avalakki is to be soaked for about two hours.

You need to take:

Rice (ordinary)                                         1 cup
Avalakki/poha/beaten rice                       1/2 cup
Grated coconut                                        1/2 cup
Water                                                       2-3 cups
Cumin                                                      1 teaspoon
Dhania seeds                                          1-2 teaspoons
Tamarind paste                                        1 teaspoon (thick)
Jaggery powder                                       2 teaspoons
Salt                                                          1 teaspoon
Red chillies                                              2-3 (if byaDagi) and 1-2 (if Guntur)
Raw green menthya or
 palak or dhania                                       1 cup chopped (optional)

Procedure:

Soak rice and avalakki for about 2 hours. Drain water and grind together to a smooth paste all the ingredients except the greens. While grinding add water as per requirement.  Add chopped greens. The batter for this dosae is a bit thinner than the usual dosae batter.

Heat tava. Grease it and pour half cup of the batter and spread it to a round shape. Put half a teaspoon of oil round the dosae. When done, reverse and add half tea spoon more of oil. Remove when done and serve hot and eat hot :)

These dosaes are quite thin and you can make about 8 dosaes from this quauntity of batter.
