BM #137 Week 4 Day 2 -
For today, I present these Watermelon Rind dosas which has been in my to-do list forever. They are also known as Kalingana Polo, I have adopted a mixture of recipes from the web to come up with my own combination of ingredients to suit our dietary needs.
I have substituted foxtail millet for idli rice and have fermented only for 5-6 hours. There was no after taste of the watermelon if anyone is wondering. :)
Ingredients -
Foxtail Millet 1 cup
Watermelon rind, shredded 1 cup (Only the white part)
Coconut, shredded handful
Salt as needed
Oil to shallow fry the dosas
Method Of Preparation -
Wash and soak foxtail millet for 5-6 hours. Grind into a fine batter adding shredded coconut and shredded watermelon rind.
Set aside the batter for fermentation.
On a hot griddle / tawa, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it into a thin circle. Spray some oil all over. Let the dosa cook.
Flip onto the other side and allow it to cook for a few seconds.
Remove and continue with the rest of the batter.
Serve it hot with a chutney of your choice.
Now that is a very unique idea... literally like a no-waste recipe! The dosa looks really good too...
I have made this dosa with rice. Making with millets is a good idea as it is more nutritious. I would give a try and I love the entire series of dosa. I feel like moving right next to you. Awesome recipes!
Addition of millets and watermelon rind both amazing ingredients and makes this recipe more interesting and healthy.
