Curry Leaves Dosa/Karuvepillai Dosa

                         This is a very interesting recipe and a healthy dosa too.First when is heard the recipe from my mom i was asking my mom wether we will get the smell or the bitter taste of curry leaves.For that she replied try out and see as she was also in doubt regarding the smell and taste when she first saw the recipe in Revathy Shanmugam's cookery show.Then i thought to try it out and was really awesome and the taste was too good too.So i thought i will share the recipe with you guys too.Its really healthy and easy to prepare and also one more dosa variety which kids will love to have.

Ingredients :

Raw Rice	1 1/2 cups
Boile Rice	1/2 cup
Urad dall	1/4 cup
Toor dall	1 tbsp
Fenugreek	1 tsp
Rice flakes/poha	1/2 cup
Cumin seeds	1 tsp
Shallots	10 nos
Curry leaves	1 cup
Green chillies	4 nos
Salt	Req

Method :

1.  Soak raw rice,boiled rice,urad dall ,toor dall and fenugreek together for around 3 hrs.Soak rice flakes seperately for around 1/2 hr and then grind the total ingredients together in the mixie and allow it to ferment.

2.   Now dilute the dosa batter with little water as do for normal dosa and pour the batter in the dosa tawa as usual.But the dont make it too thin pour as a oothapam and cover with a lid and cook.

3.  Now the dosa/oothapam is ready and serve with any kind of chutney's.I served with coconut and onion chutney.

Notes :

1.  Before pouring the batter on the dosa tawa,tawa should become nicely hot and then keep in sim and then pour the batter with the ladle.

2.  Instead of oothapam we can prepare as normal dosa also but i found the oothapam to be the best.

3.  You can also grate the carrot and put on top of the dosa.

4.  I grinded the batter in the evening and allowed it to ferment the whole night.

Methi Paratha/Methi Leaves Roti

                         This is the first time i'm trying out this recipe and as always came well.My mom use to do this paratha once a while after she saw this in a cookery show.I feel this methi and wheat flour combination is best as methi leaves reduces the heat of the body while vice versa in the case of wheat flour.As the sunny season is going to start shortly i've decided that i will do it regularly as its easy to do and perfect for lunch box also.
                          Since i prepared this in the morning busy i was not able to take the step wise pics.I will try to upload the pics next time when i prepare the paratha.

Ingredients :

Wheat Flour	2 cups
Salt	Req
Water	If necessary
Oil	4 tsp
Methi Leaves	1 bunch

To Grind :

Onion	1 big sized
Tomato	2 medium sized
Green chillies	4 nos
Ginger	1/2 inch piece
Garlic	4 pods

Method :


1. Grind all the items given under to grind column.Don't add water during grinding and grind little coarsely.

2. Chop the methi leaves finely just before we mix with the wheat flour

3.  Mix the wheat flour along with the grinded things and prepare as a dough.

4.  Now make as parathas and toast as usual how we use to prepare normal parathas.

5.  Serve with any kind of raitas.

Notes :


1. I didn't add too much water but just 1 tbsp as tomato is already a pure and onion tends to leave water.

2 .While griding the items first i grind the onion little crunch and then other items.For the entire grinding process i grinded in the pulse side.

3. I used 1cup tightly packed methi leaves.

4. Chopping the methi leaves just before mixing with the wheat flour is very important as the methi leaves will tend to give bitter taste.
