Mrs. Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies - Part 3

Dear Sinrulz!!

Here is the recipe for fenugreek leaves dosa for you! This is my new innovation for you. I regret for the delay in posting this recipe. Really I have to wait for fresh greenish venthayakeerai for this recipe. There are many variations in preparing this dosa. Mostly this fenugreek leaves is added directly in the dosa or adai batter without being cooked. But this method would give a very different taste as it is cooked with other spices. Hope you will try soon. The fenugreek paste can be used as a thuvaiyal. This is also can be mixed with hot cooked rice and ghee and could be served as ‘ venthaya keerai sadham!’.





FENUGREEK LEAVES DOSAI: [VENTHAYAKEERAI DOSAI]

Ingredients needed:

dosa batter- 3 cups
For the paste:
Fenugreeks- 2 cups
Small onions-8
Ripe big tomato-1
Red chillies- 7
Tamarind- a small gooseberry size
Black gram- 1 tbsp
Bengal gram- 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Gingelly oil-2 tbsp

Procedure:

Heat a pan and pour the oil.
Add the grams and the red chillies and fry them to golden brown.
Take them away.
In the same oil fry the onion first to golden brown.
Then add the tomato and the fenugreek leaves.
Fry them until the tomato is well cooked.
When cooled, first grind the grams and the red chillies with the tamarind to a fine paste.
Then add the tomato, onion and fenugreek leaves and grind them coarsely.
Mix this with the dosa batter smoothly.
Now you can cook the spicy fenugreek dosai on both sides to golden brown!!
