Sabudana Dosa

Sabudana Dosa  -  Vidya Nayak Shenoy.

Adapted from the book : 'The Konkani Saraswat Cookbook' by Asha S Philar

Ingredients:

For the Dosa:
3 Cups Rice
1 Cup Sago seeds/Sabudana
1 Cup Urad dal/ Skinned Black Gram
1 Cup Rice flakes/Beaten Rice/Poha/Aval
Salt to taste

Oil to cook the dosa

For the Hing Chutney:
1/2 Cup Coconut
1 tsp Oil
A small lump of Hing/ Powdered Hing
3 Green chillies
A small lump of Tamarind
Salt to taste

Recipe:
1.Wash well and soak Rice and Urad dal separately for 4-5 hours..
2. Wash well and soak the sago seeds and rice flakes separately for 2 hours...
Note: Soak the 1 cup sago in atleast 4 cups of water as they will swell when soaked..
3. Grind urad dal,sago and rice flakes with little of the soaked water together to form a smooth paste..Pour it in a vessel..
4. Grind the rice with little water to a smooth paste.. Add it to the above batter..
5. Add salt and mix well with hands to kick start fermentation..
6. Keep in a warm place overnight or for 8 hours...
Note: I had to change my vessel to a bigger and wider one to ensure that i give enough place for the batter to ferment..
7. Heat the pan and add few drops of oil.. Pour a ladle of the batter on the center of the pan..
Notes:
    1. DO NOT spread the dosa.. Give a round shape using ladle if needed but the dosa should be thick..
    2. The flame should be changed to medium after the initial high flame..
8. Cover and cook till the surface looks cooked..
9. Add oil on the sides of the dosa if needed... Remove the dosa from the pan...
Note: This dosa is cooked on one side only but if you want, you can flip and cook too..
10.For the Hing Chutney, Fry hing and green chillies in little oil..
11. Cool and grind it along with coconut, tamarind and salt using little water..
12. Remove in a bowl.. [Season with mustard seeds and curry leaves if needed..]
Serve the Dosa with Hing Chutney and enjoy a healthy and filling breakfast!! 

Note: The leftover batter can be used to make super yummy Onion Uthappams.. Just sprinkle some finely chopped onions on top of the dosa after you pour the dosa batter... Flip and cook till golden brown colour.. Enjoy! :)
