BM #135 Week 3 Day 1 - 

This week I shall continue with the A-Z Series featuring Dosas alphabetically. This month the starting letters are P, Q and R.

With P I have tried this unique Peanut Besan Dosa and instantly fell in love with it. In this recipe the peanuts are soaked and ground to a fine paste. 

Recently, I have heard a few experts talk about the benefits of soaked peanuts versus the fried /roasted peanuts. They say that the soaked peanuts give out peanut milk whereas the fried/roasted peanuts give out oil and therefore the soaked ones are healthier.
The A-Z series so far..
Recipe Inspiration - here
Ingredients - 

Peanuts soaked for 4-5 hours 1 cup
Besan/Gram Flour 1 cup
Salt as needed
Green Chilies-Ginger Paste 2 tsp (or as needed)
Ajwain, crushed 1/2 tsp
Cumin Seeds crushed 1/2 tsp
Asafotida 1/4 tsp
Chopped Vegetables 2-3 cups (I used Carrot, Onion and Sweet Peppers)
Coriander Leaves finely chopped 3 Tbsp



Method Of Preparation -

In a mixing bowl, add all the finely chopped vegetables, coriander leaves, ginger-green chili paste, cumin seeds, ajwain, asafotida, and salt.

Make a fine paste of the soaked, washed and drained peanuts adding as much water as needed.
 
In the same blender, add the besan and about 1/2 cup of water and blend until there are no lumps.

Adjust water and mix into a thick batter. (It should be similar to the idli batter consistency - thick but pourable).

Cover and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

On a heated tava(griddle), pour a ladleful of batter and spread it in a circular motion to make dosas. Spray some oil if preferred. 

Cover and let the dosa cook underside and then flip it on to the other side and remove as soon as it is done.

Continue for the rest of the batter or as required.
