Bread Uthappam

It was a rainy evening and i wanted to have a snack which did not have too much oil in it. Normally i would be craving for pakoras but i wanted to try something different and healthy today. My friend happened to tell me about this recipe and i wanted to try it out. It came out pretty well. So here is the recipe of Bread uthappam.

Ingredients:

Bread    2 sclices
Rava/Sooji   1/2 cup
Yogurt/Curd   1/2 cup
Grated carrot   1/2 cup
Onions     1/4 cup
Capsicum (thinly sliced)  1/2 cup
Ghee
Salt

Procedure:

Mix Rava, carrot, capsicum, onions along with curd. Add salt to taste. Leave the mixture for minutes.

Apply the batter on one side of the bread. Put ghee on a tava which is on a medium flame. When it is hot place the bread with the batter side down on the tava. Cook till you get a nice brown color. Once done turn the bread and place it on the other side till it turns into light brown color.
Serve it hot with ketchup or chutney.

I put the batter only on one side so that the crispiness would remain and the snack would be light. You can also change the vegetables to the one's you like.

Godi Dosa (Wheat Dosa)

Wheat means Godhi in Kannada. It is a very healthy breakfast option. If you are bored of the regular masala dosa this is a welcome change. We use whole wheat grain for this dosa. It needs to be soaked overnight or else it becomes hard to grind it.

Ingredients:

Whole grain Wheat     1 cup (soaked overnight)
Salt to taste

Procedure:

Grind the whole wheat grain in a blender to make a fine paste using water. Add salt to taste.

On a medium flame pour the batter in a circular motion to make a dosa.

Once the batter is poured turn the flame to low and allow the dosa to cook. Turn over and let it cook on the other side. Once cooked remove and serve it with green chutney.

Neer Dosa

Neer Dosa which means water dosa is a prepared from rice batter. Neer means water in Kannada. The batter for this dosa is more watery than the normal dosa made from rice and urad dal. This batter also does not require fermentation. It is also called as Tellavu in Havyaka kannada.

Ingredients:

1 cup White Rice
2 tbsp grated coconut/ poha
Salt to taste
1tsp Ghee or oil

Procedure :

Soak the rice for about 6 hours or overnight. Blend the rice along with 2tbsp of grated coconut or poha with enough water to make a runny thin batter. The coconut or poha is used so that the dosa comes out smoothly from the tawa. Once the batter is ready add salt to taste.Splash the batter on a tawa which is on a medium flame and add 1tsp of ghee or oil over it. Cover the tawa and cook for a minute. Once cooked flip it over. Serve it hot with red or green chutney.

You can improvise this dosa by adding an onion, 2 red chillies and curry leaves. The dosa will have more flavour.
