Pizza Dosa

Pizza is always an attracting food for kids. My kids love to eat cheese, when ever I make pizza or quesadilla before they start their meal they use to fill their tummy with cheese. One of my friend tried this just with cheese and olive, kids loved it. I thought of adding punch and more flavors. You can add any kind of topping but don’t forget to use pizza sauce it enhances the taste.

Ingredients:

Dosa Batter	1 cup
Pizza sauce	2 Tbsp
Olive	2 Tbsp
Green bell pepper	2 Tbsp
Onion	2 Tbsp
Jalapenos	few
Tomatoes	1 Tbsp
Mozzarella cheese	½ cup + 1 Tbsp
Oil
Salt

 

Directions:

1. Heat the tava, pour dosa batter don’t spread (do like big uttapam).
2. Drizzle pizza sauce all over and cover with cheese (a thick layer) reduce the flame to low, now top with vegetables and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Again sprinkle another hand full of cheese (don’t over as you done before).
3. Add few drops of oil to the sides, cover a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Keep an eye on bottom part of dosa it should not burn.

 

Note:

You want to be really fast while adding pizza sauce, cheese and topping or else the dosa might burn.

Sorghum (Coolam) Dosa

Sorghum (Coolam) is one of the main grains grown in India and it’s healthy when compared to rice. Few months before I started to explore substitution for rice, here is my first Sorghum (coolam) dosa as a result, my grand parents use to take these type of grains (kambu, coolam, ragi, thinai, saamai, etc.) a lot hope that’s the reason they are strong even in old age.

Ingredients:

Sorghum (Coolam)	1 cup
Raw rice	1 cup
Idli rice	1 cup
Urad dal	½ cup
Cumin powder	1 Tbsp
Pepper powder	1 Tbsp
Asafetida	A pinch
Salt
Oil or ghee

 

Directions:

1. Soak coolam for about 12- 18 hours, soak both rice together for 5-6 hours and urad dal for 2 hours.
2. Grind urad dal separately; grind coolam and rice together as a course paste.
3. Mix everything together with enough salt and ferment overnight.
4. Before you make dosa add cumin powder, pepper powder and asafetida mix well and make dosa on hot tava.
5. Enjoy with any chutney or sambar.

 

 

Note:

• Instead of coolam you can use Bajiri (kambu) or Barley.
• My urad dal use to raise a lot. So I used ½ cup you can add ¾ or 1 cup (My ratio for normal idli and dosa is 4 cup rice for ½ cup urad dal). I use wet grinder for grinding .
• While you are soaking the uard dal leave that in refrigerator and grind using that cold water it helps to raise urad quantity.
