Cucumber Dosa
Cucumber Rava dosa
This is my go-to option for those unexpected tiffin or breakfast moments. I prepare a vegetable rava dosa, incorporating vegetables directly into the batter. In this instance, I opted for cucumbers and used millet flour (though you're welcome to use rice flour as an alternative), and substituted millet rava for the traditional semolina. Without the need for maida, this quick and easy dosa can be made on the spot. The veg rava dosa retains its softness for several hours, yet when served fresh off the tava, it achieves the desirable crispiness akin to a regular rava dosa. Experimenting with different vegetables, such as avocados or zucchini, not only diversifies the flavors but also boosts the health quotient of the dish.
Recipe
1 cup rice flour / any millet flour/ragi/jowar etc
1/2 cup cucumbers chopped and puréed
Salt as needed
2 green chillies can be ground with cucumbers
Some chopped coriander leaves .
