WATERMELON RIND DOSA

Herez another one of my interesting recipe that I was waiting to post for long. Yes its ''WATERMELON RIND DOSA''.  I know its not attractive in looks but its tasty and awesome. What I like is, it does not need any fermentation also its very soft and light. While making this dosa, make sure you peel the green portion completely and use only the white portion of it. So next time when u buy watermelon, remember to make use of the whole fruit by not wasting the rind instead try making spongy watermelon rind dosa :) :)


INGREDIENTS.

1 Cup Rice.

3/4 Cup Watermelon rind portion.

1/4 Cup Coconut.

1/4 Cup Puffed rice.

2 Green chilly.

2 Tbsp Grated Ginger.

Few Curry leaves.

Salt.

Oil as per needed.



METHOD.

Peel the green part of the watermelon and chop the white portion of it. Soak rice in water for 2 hours. Meanwhile grind the watermelon rind along with coconut, green chilly, ginger and curry leaves. Transfer them into a bowl. Later grind the soaked rice and mix with the rind batter.  Add salt and mix well. The consistency of batter should be thick when compared with other dosa. Heat non stick pan. Pour a ladle full of batter on heated tawa.Spread the dosa into thick circle. Coo the dosa on both the sides applying oil if needed. Transfer them into a plate and serve hot with ur fav dip.

Enjoy !!
