Instant bread dosa

I love south indian food. After coming to USA, I miss eating all these delicacies from food street. I was very apprehensive of making a batter for various reasons. That is when I found a recipe of instant bread dosa on one of the groups on FB. My happiness knew no boundaries that and I tried that recipe immediately. It was a hit at my place. So lets dive into flavours of south india.

White/ brown bread slices - 8-10

Semolina/ rava - 1/2 cup

Rice flour - 2 teaspoons 

Curd - 1/2 cup

salt to taste 

Seasoning - 

Oil - 1 tablesppon

Mustard seeds/ Rai - 1/2 teaspoon 

Cumin seeds/ Jeera - 1/4 teaspoon 

Green chillies - 2 (finely chopped)

Urad dal - 1/2 teaspoon 

Cilantro/ coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons (finely chopped)

Directions - 

1. Take the bread slices and trim the edges of the bread. Grind the bread slices to a fine powder.

2. Add semolina, rice flour, curd, salt and water and grind to make a batter of dosa consistency. Pour the batter in a clean bowl and check for the consistency. Adjust water and salt accordingly.

3. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow it to splutter.  Add urad dal and saute till light brown. Add green chillies and chopped coriander leaves and saute for half a minute.  Add this seasoning to the dosa batter and mix well.

Serve it hot with chutney of your choice.
