INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the Batter
To a food processor or mixie-grinder, add the roughly chopped cucumber, green chillies and grated coconut. Process until smooth and then transfer it into a large bowl.
1 cup grated coconut, 2 cucumber, 2 to 3 green chillies
Drain the soaked rice and grind in the same mixie jar until smooth. You can do this in two to three batches. You can add up to 3 cups of water to make the rice batter.
2 cups raw rice, 3 cups water
Mix the cucumber mixture and rice batter until well combined. Add turmeric powder and salt. Keep it covered until required.
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, salt to taste
Prepare the dosa:
Heat a flat cast iron or non-stick dosa pan on medium to high heat. You may very lightly grease the cast iron pan with oil and wipe it off.
Use a large serving spoon that we usually use to serve rice. Stir the batter well and hold the bowl above the pan. Scoop some batter and start pouring from a height, starting from the corners to the inside and centre of the pan. Fill any large empty gaps with a drizzle of batter. Remember to keep the dosa thin!
Drizzle a little oil over the dosa, cover with a lid and cook for a minute on medium-high.
cooking oil
Remove the lid and cook for another couple of mins or until you can flip it easily.
Flip and cook the other side just for a few seconds. Flip again, fold and transfer to the serving container and keep them covered.
Reduce the flame to lowest, wipe clean the pan with kitchen paper and get ready to repeat making the cucumber dosa with the remaining batter.
Serve cucumber dosa with any chutney or chicken or mutton curry.
