Just to share with you………..
Once I want to try some recipe which I have seen in the net. For that recipe corn flour is one of the ingredients. So I bought one full pack from the Indian grocery. For long time I don’t know how to finish that flour. So asusal I started searching for some recipes which use corn flour as the main ingredient. I came across “Makki Ki roti ” ( chappathi/roti made by mixing wheat flour and corn flour) which is North Indian recipe. Suddenly I remembered what my grandma said in my childhood days. I always make comments when my grandma makes dosa because she will make thick dosa’s like uthappam . That time she used to say that she is very good in making dosa’s and she used to make dosa made of corn batter for big family (I mean the family members count). She used to tell that in those days (40 yrs back) they used to soak corn and grind and make batter for dosa as we are doing with rice now. This gave me the idea why I should not make dosa with this corn flour. I tried out . It was very good and tasty.
Ingredients
-
Idli batter – 1 cup
-
cornflour – 2cups
-
little salt and water
Preparation
Mix all the ingredients well and make Dosa. Eat with hot chutney’s like onion chutney which is the best combination.
Other Varieties
-
If you mix wheat flour instead of corn flour that becomes “WHEAT DOSA” or Gothumai Dosai. This is good for people having diabetes.
-
If you mix Ragi flour instead of corn flour that becomes “RAGI DOSA”
-
If you mix Maida flour instead of corn flour that becomes “MAIDA DOSA”
-
If you mix kambu flour instead of corn flour that becomes “KAMBU DOSA”
-
You can also make these dosa’s with out adding idli batter. You feel little bit sticky . To avoid that add idli batter.
Once I bought corn packet from frozen section and I don’t know what to do with that huge amount. I heard from grandma’s that they will make dosas, bonda, pakoda’s by grinding fresh corn so I thought of trying it in my own way with grandma’s corn recipe as a base. It came out really good.
