Welcome

Being passionate travelers means plenty of variations. Be it cloths, places, entertainments, or food, you have a large database of options in front of you. True, we were never ardent about cooking, but we were always one food loving couple. And, our interest for travel took us all the way from India to Nepal to Somalia to Maldives to Uganda. We did not travel to these countries for mere journey. We found jobs in every country, stayed for a couple of years, learned the ins and outs of their customs and practices, and then of course food. It's so wonderful to have them all shared it with you, the taste that we loved in India.

Dosa (Kerala)

When you say Dosa it is not the specialty of Kerala alone. More accurately Dosa is common more in Tamilnadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh than Kerala. However, this variety of Dosa is from the kitchens of Kerala. Like other variants this one also is better served with Sambar and Coconut chutney.
Ingredients

Raw Rice 2 cups
Cooked rice ¼ cup
Urad daal ¾ cup
Salt to taste
Water to make the batter
Vegetable oil as required


Method
§  Soak raw rice and urad daal for 3 to 4 hours; Grind them by adding required water, salt and cooked rice to form a thick batter; keep the batter overnight for fermentation.
§  Heat a greased nonstick griddle and pour one ladle of batter and spread it using the back of ladle to a thin round shape.
§  Spread 2 to 4 drops of vegetable oil on the spread batter and cook at low or medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
§  When the edges begin to crisp, flip it over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
§  Once cooked well on both sides remove and serve hot with sambar and chutney.
