PALAK NEER DOSA II NEER DOSA II SPINACH NEER DOSA

Neer dosa literally meaning water dosa in Kannada - Tulu language is a crêpe prepared from  rice batter.  Neer dosa is a delicacy from Tulu Nadu  region and part of Udupi - Mangalorean cuisine of Karnataka.  

It is a preparation of two basic ingredients viz. Rice and Salt but some people add bit of grated coconut also. There are many variations of preparing this dosa.  Today I tried it with Palak.  You can masala Neer Dosa, Carrot Neer dosa etc. 

There is no requirement for fermentation of the rice in order to prepare Neer dosa. The rice needs to be soaked for at least 2 hours. After a quick wash and a drain the rice needs to be ground by adding water in order to get very fine batter. Additional amount of water can be added based on the thickness of the batter and then salt is added for taste. Finally the batter is used to prepare the dosa. 

The Basic is the Normal Neerdosa preparation only but only palak is added to this for change in flavour.

HEALTHY EGG VEGGIE OMLETTE

While making Breakfast the first question comes to our mind is what to make today.  Today, I came up with an interesting and Healthy recipe for the Children as well as elders.
Who will not like to eat eggs?  Along with it some veggies? Is n't it interesting?

Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white, which also includes vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat than the yolk. Eggs are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.

So why are you wasting time.  Let us start cooking.

Let us look at the recipe now:

BITTERGOURD IN TAMARIND SAUCE ll PAVAKKA PULI ll KAIPAKKA PULI ll SAUCY KARELA

 Bittergourd in tamarind sdauce  tastes good with specially plain steamed rice.  It can be served with chapatti and phulka also.

Bitter gourd has got many health benefits.  My husband likes to have the Raita made out of it. Just chop them very finely and add curd and bit salt. That is it.  He  loves to eat this with Chapati or Rice.

This dish today I made as we used to make Vendakka Puli i.e. Lady’s finger in tamarind sauce.  But Green Chilli is used to make the Vendakka Puli.  Here I have used Red Chilli Powder and Coriander Powder.  I have taken ¼ th of the Bittergourd but in the ingredients, I have given proper quantity.
