 Cook Time : less than 5 mins-per dosa
 Yields: 15 dosas
 Recipe Category: Dosa Varieties-Breakfast
 Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
 Author:Padhu Sankar

   Ingredients needed

   Mudakathan Keerai -1 cup firmly packed
   Raw rice (pacharisi) – 3/4 cup
   Par Boiled rice (pulungal arisi) – 3/4 cup
   Whole Urad dal – 1/2 cup
   Fenugreek seeds -3/4 tsp
   Salt needed
   Oil for making dosas (sesame seed oil preferable)

Preparation


Wash and soak both the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds together for 4 hours.

Take the leaves alone from the creeper, wash it well and keep it ready.

Grind rice, dal and fenugreek seeds to a smooth paste adding little water from time to time. The consistency should be that of dosa batter consistency. Add the mudakathan leaves also in the end and grind it to a smooth paste. The batter will be in a lovely light green color. Ferment the batter overnight or for 7-8 hours. Once the batter is fermented, you can use it to make dosas. 

Mudakathan Keerai Dosa

Alternatively if you have idli dosa batter, then grind 1 cup tightly packed mudakathan keerai to a smooth paste, mix it with 6 cups of dosa or idli batter well. Add a tsp of crushed cumin seeds and use that batter to make mudakathan keerai dosa. Adjust salt as needed. 

Method 


Heat a tawa, pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread it in a circular motion. You can make thick dosas like uthapam or thin dosa with this batter.

Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa, once the edges starts lifting up, flip it over to the other side and drizzle another 1/2 tsp of oil.

Once cooked, remove from tawa and serve hot with any chutney of your choice.

    Hi Padhu, I tried this today. Is fermentation not required for this dosa? I made the batter last night and kept it in fridge as you didn't mention about fermenting. Dosa was a little bit on harder side. Hence asking.

      Yes, you have to ferment it overnight or for 6-7 hours, if your are grinding the batter from scratch. If you are mixing the keerai paste with the idli dosa batter, you do not have to ferment it again.
