Bengaluru Special Kara Dosai Recipe

This is my Akka's recipe. Whenever I visit her home she prepare this Dosa for me. It is very simple, as soon as you grind it, you can make dosas, no need to keep overnight for fermentation. So I adopted this recipe from her. Usually I prepare these dosas for dinner.

Grind the Ingredients listed under to grind (cut the onions and red chillies into small pieces, add jeera and curry leaves and then grind else it won't be grinded in Grinder). Grind them first to a smooth paste and then add rice and dhal. Grind them for 15 minutes.

Now the Batter is ready.  The batter should not be too thick, if it so you may not get the crispy Dosa. So add some more water to the batter if the batter is thick. Mix big onion, coconut, turmeric, Hing, coriander leaves along with the batter.

Pour a ladle full of batter in Dosa Pan. Slowly spread the batter. It will not be thin like Ordinary Dosa. Flip it to other side. It takes little more time to be cooked. Cook in medium high flame. 

Tasty Kara Dosai is now Ready. Have it with coconut Chutney or you can simply have it without any of the chutneys. I usually have this as it is without chutney.
