By Jasmine Kaur
While dosas are one of the most loved breakfast dishes of South India, who doesn’t prefer a quick and easy breakfast, right?
Karacha means to mix in Tamil and the batter is a combination of rice flour, ragi, maida etc. and is made fluffy with addition of buttermilk.
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup rice flour • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour • 1/4 cup ragi flour • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour • 3 cup water • 1 tsp cumin seeds • 6-7 peppercorns coarsely crushed • 1 sprig curry leaves • Salt (to taste)
Step 1
In a big vessel, add all flours and a pinch of salt. Add buttermilk very gradually and keep mixing until you make a smooth, lump-free paste. Add water and dilute the mixture.
Step 2
Add cumin seeds, peppercorns and curry leaves. Heat a non-stick tawa and rub it with butter or sesame oil. Pour the batter and rotate in circular motion from outside the tawa till inside.
Step 3
Throw in butter or drizzle oil. When edges begin to separate from bottom, carefully flip the dosa. Repeat the process. Serve dosas hot with chutney or sambar.
