This is one of those instant tiffin's, yet yummy and belly filling too...

We call this as 'chenaga pindi dosa'.

These dosa's are tasty and crispy ... prepare these once to know the taste !!!

Preparation time : 10 mins
Serves : 2 (or) Makes : 7 to 8 dosa's

Ingredients :

Besan (or) chickpea flour : 1/4 cup ( 2 heaped tbsp)
Rice flour : 1/2 - 3/4 cup (5 heaped tbsp)
(besan : rice flour = 1 : 2 or 1: 2 1/2 It depends on your rice flour)
Salt : to taste
Chili powder : to taste
Hing / Asafotida : 2 pinches
Cumin seeds : 1/2 tsp
Onion : 1 finely chopped

Water : 2 to 2 1/2 cups

Method :

Mix besan, rice flour, salt, chili powder, hing, cumin seeds together and add water.

Mix it good such that no lumps are formed.
Consistency of the batter is like ravva dosa batter.

Coat the pan with oil.

Make dosa's by sprinkling batter on tawa with laddle.

If you wish you can add finely chopped onions on top now.

Wait for 2 mins, edges should raise up by themselves.

Turn aroun wait for 1 min, turn it around again wait for one more  min.

Your dosa is ready.

You should always serve dosa's when they are hot.

For a dosa to be crisp and nice three things matters ( tawa, batter consistency, soaking)

The tawa should not be too hot or too cool, heat should be moderate and tawa should be hot.

By experience you will know the batter consistency.

While pouring batter on tawa you can do two things.

One is make a round on edge and fill the remaining gap.

two - just sprinkle the batter on tawa, cover entire tawa to from a nice dosa.

Serve your hot dosa's with yogurt or with pickle or with chutney.

Enjoy your dish !!!
