Wheat Flour Dosa

(From Banu's Cookbook)


Ingredients:
1 Cup - Wheat Flour
1 Cup - Fine Sooji (Chiroti Rave)
1/4 Cup - Grated or powdered Jaggery
4-6 - Green Chillies - Chopped
1 inch - Ginger Chopped
1 small bunch of Corriander Leaves - Chopped Finely
3-4 Tbsp - Fresh grated coconut
1-2 Tsp of Red Chilli Powder
Sour Yogurt or Buttermilk
Salt to Taste

Method:
 1. Sieve Wheat flour and fine sooji together with salt.  Add yogurt to it and mix it well without any lumps.
2. Add jaggery,  salt, red chilli powder and mix well. Also add the chopped ginger, green chillies, coriander leaves and coconut and mix well. Add some water if needed.
3. The batter must be soft but thicker than dosa batter.
4. Heat a pan and spread the batter with a spoon, since it is a thicker batter and a bit hard to spread thin, I make it into smaller diameter dosa.
5. Add some oil and cook well on both sides.
6. Serve it hot with chutney or pickle.




This is a very typical Havyaka Dish called "Ele Holige". I had really missed this and thanks to my Uncle for reminding me about this.

Notes:
1. Jaggery adds a bit of sweetness to this dosa, if you do not like it, you can skip it.
2. You can add a few table spoons of rice flour to make the dosa a bit crispy.
