Palakkad style Dosa


This style of Dosa is prepared in Palakkad district of Kerala, specially by the Brahmin community. This is called as Ammiar Ada Tatti. Is a very different kind of a Dosa which can be made easily because there is no need to keep the batter for fermentation

Ingredients

  1. Rice                                                     1 cup
  2. Udad Daal                                         ¼ cup
  3. Green Moong (whole)                       ¼ cup
  4. Chana Daal                                        ¼ cup
  5. Dry red chillies                                   7-8
  6. Curry leaves                                       10-12
  7. Salt                                                      as required
  8. Asafoetida (Hing)                              ¼ spoon
  9. Coconut Oil


Method

  • Soak all the ingredients from 1 to 6 in water for 5-6 hours.
  • Clean them and Grind in a mixer jar and prepare a batter (like for Dosa), add salt to taste and asafoetida(hing) to the batter.
  • Heat a Dosa Pan and prepare dosas from the batter. Pour oil to the sides of the dosas as required to make it crisp and cook it from other side too.

Delicious Dosas ( Ada tatti) is ready.
Have it with sambar, coconut chutney, tomato chutney or coriander chutney.
Usually these Dosas are little thicker when compared to the normal dosa.
