Carrot Rava Dosa

One of my husband favourite breakfast but morning i don't get that time to make to i do this on dinner time.

Ingredients
1 shredded carrot
3 to 4 green chillie thin circles slices
1/2 medium size onion slices
1/2 inch ginger slices
cumin seeds few
1 bowl sooji
1 bowl dosa batter

If u don't have dosa batter then add one cup rice flour with butter milk keep a side few hours then make.




Making Dosa:

mix all the ingredients with the help of water and mix well..
Here we use bit more water bcoz batter should spread all over the tawa

Now heat the tawa and pour the batter edges of the tawa leaving middle empty immediately lift the tawa and spread the batter all over the pan while moving the pan up and down with the help of your hands.

Just opposite to regular dosa there we pour in center spread, here we pour like big ring shape and spread moving the tawa.

Onion and carrot gives sweetness, ginger ,chillies give right spice, cumin seeds,corainder leaves nice flavour and these ingredients r very healthy.

I served this dosa with onion peanut chutney(spicy)

If u want u can add some ghee to the dosa.

Enjoy
