WATER MELON DOSA, TARBOOSINI DOSA, DOSA


Water melon dosa is made with the white portion of water melon.  We have to separate the red portion and the green skin.  The white portion is grated, water is squeezed out from it.  The water is used while grinding the rice.  I found the same very tasty hence i posted it.  Hope you will also enjoy.  It is a best out of waste dish too.









Let us look at the recipe:

Time taken : 1 hour
Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

1 cup rice
2  cups grated water melon (white portion)
2 green chilly
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
pinch of asafoetida
1/2 tsp black pepper and cumin crushed (optional)
salt
oil

Method:

Step 1

Wash and soak the rice for 2-3 hrs.  Grate the white portion of water melon and squeeze the water out of  it and keep aside.  

Step 2

Drain the rice and grind the same along with Green chilly,  Ssafoetida and the water squeezed out of the melon to a smooth paste. Add the grated water melon and mix well.  you will get a batter like idli batter. If you want can add little water.  but should not be watery.  Mix black pepper powder (optional).  Allow to ferment for 4-5 hours.(you can make immediately also). Tastes good if it is a  little bit sour.

Step 3

Heat the non stick tava when it becomes hot apply oil and rub it with a piece of onion.  Pour one laddleful  of batter and spread little bit.  Remember you cannot spread it like we make the normal dosa.  Put one tsp oil.  When the bottom side is cooked, flip to cook the other side also. Pour one tsp oil again.  Cook the same till you get brown spots on both the sides.

How to serve:

Serve hot with any chutney. If it becomes cold, the taste is different.

Variation:  you can add onion also if you wish.

During the rainy season, we get in Maharashtra a kind of cucumber.  It is long, greenish in colour outside and inside divided into three parts.  My mother in law makes vellarikka dosa with this cucumber. It is also used here to tie the same while tying the Handi for Gopala Kala, uri adi, Dahi Handi.
