Friends, my niece has a very old mother-in-law.
As they say old is gold, she has so many tips and tricks.
She made this spongy dosai for me. Kugan98

SOFT SPONGE DOSAI

Ingredients:

2 cups of idli rice
¼ cup aval
4 cups of sour mooru
¼ tsp of cooking soda
Salt to taste
Little oil

Method:

Wash the rice, wash the aval, drain well.
Now soak both the aval and the rice with the mooru.
Soak them for about 6 hours.

Now drain the excess mooru if any.
Grind the soaked rice and aval to a smooth paste.
The consistency should be a little watery than our dosai batter.
Use the mooru in which the rice was soaked during grinding.

Add in salt and cooking soda and mix well.
Heat a non stick dosai pan.
Pour a ladle full of batter on the pan.
Do not spread the the batter.
Drizzle little oil and cook covered on medium flame.
The super soft dosai will be cooked in a minute.

Thanks Kugan for all the nice recipes.
I am a bit scared to talk about the new forum.
Hope everything will be right soon.
Sooo difficult to check for old recipes.
I hope the management will help out soon.

RAW JACKFRUIT POTATO SODHY

Ingredients:

200 grms raw jack fruit cut into chunks
2 medium potatoes cut into cubes

3 tomatoes grind very fine
¼ cup finely chopped shallots

To grind fine:
½ cup grated coconut
1 tsp roasted channa dal
1 ½ tsp aniseeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
5 green chillies
1 tbs coriander leaves

1 small cinnamon stick
1 clove
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbs oil
Salt to taste

Method:
Mix the ground tomatoes with the ground coconut paste.
Mix well and keep aside.

Heat the oil in a pot, add in the cinnamon, clove and curry leaves.
Add in the chopped onions and sauté well.
Now add in the potato and raw jack fruit
Keep stirring so that it mixes well.
Now add little water and salt, mix well.
Cover and cook till the veges are cooked.

Remove and serve.
