Instructions
To begin preparing the Carrot and Ginger Spiced Dosa, first gather your ingredients and ensure the Idli Dosa Batter is ready for use. Start by grating the carrots and ginger, setting them aside in a bowl.
-
In a pan, heat a teaspoon of sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and ginger to the pan. Sauté the mixture for about a minute until the carrots are slightly softened and fragrant.
-
Once cooked, remove the sautéed mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a mixer grinder and blend into a fine puree.
-
In a mixing bowl, pour the Idli Dosa Batter and add the prepared carrot-ginger puree. Season this mixture with salt according to your taste preferences, and whisk it well to combine until it achieves a smooth and uniform consistency.
-
Now, it’s time to make the dosas! Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, and brush it lightly with sunflower oil to prevent sticking.
-
Pour a ladleful of the prepared dosa batter onto the skillet, spreading it evenly into a thin round shape. Allow the dosa to cook undisturbed for about one minute, or until the bottom is golden brown.
-
Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and let it cook on the other side for another minute. Once both sides are cooked, transfer the dosa to a serving plate.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with a little oil as needed between dosas.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Carrot and Ginger Spiced Dosa hot, accompanied by a side of Sweet and Spicy Tomato Chutney and Beetroot Sambar for a complete and satisfying breakfast experience. The combination of these dishes not only enhances the flavor but also adds a colorful and nutritious touch to your meal.
