Crispy Dosa (South Indian Special)

2011-06-26T18:50:00.001+05:30

Dear friends

This is my crispy dosa secret

Its very easy to crispy dosa.its all time favorite for everyone.So here i can share my crispy dosa secret.Even you dont need oil for crispy dosas.it will come very crispy and give a wonderful taste

Ingredients:

Idly rice-3 cups
Urad dal- 1 cups(depending on your crisyness)
Big salt(Kal uppu)

Method:
Soak the idly rice for 8-10 hours.
Soak the urad dhal for 3 hours.
Then Grind the idly rice with correct amount of water as a fine white paste.
Grind the uru dhal in mixie with correct amount of water when we grind in mixie or grinder after adding water bubbles like thing burst..Try to avoid more water as it was soaked for long hours which absorbs water during saoking time.

During grinding little water is enough for urad dhal and for rice lightly add extra more water than urad dhal but not more water.

So take a big vessel and mix the grinded rice and urad dhal along with half hand salt 3-4 times.

Then mix the salt in the batter well.you have to beat the batter well by your hands like beating egg in which bubbles like thing exist then only it will be mixed very well.

Now close the dosa batter and wait for 9-10 hours.So the batter will be bubbled and rised a lot and will come upside of the tall big vessel.

Dont disturb till the batter rised automatically then only the dosa batter will be set.

After the batter rising beat the batter again by your hand and in turn it will decreas from its original size.

If the batter is thick add water and mix well and start to prepare the crispy dosa.

So try it and feedback me how it cames

Naan with bread instead of yeast

2011-06-25T14:54:00.000+05:30

Recently one of my friend told we can try naan with bread and maida combination.The concept is very simple too.instead of yeast we can use naan.

Ingredients:

Bread-5 pieces
Maida-2 cup
Sour Curd-1/2 cup
Warm Milk-1 cup
Sugar-2 teaspoon
Salt that needed
Butter or Ghee optional
Baking powder or baking soda salt-1 teaspoon

Method:

Sieve the maida,baking powder three times in a vessel.
In this meantime powder the bread finely in mixie and heat the milk
Now add fully powdered bread along with milk and curd half cup, sugar and salt
Start to making dough as usual and add the remaining ingredients and finish making the dough
Close the lid and allow the naan dough to set for minimum 2 hrs and maximum 8-9 hours.
So you prepare the dough in morning to make for dinner or prepare in night to make for morning.so you can get a wonderful naan
So after when it got set start to make medium balls and roll the naan in its shape.neither be thin nor be thick.Hence medium thickness is good.
Keep a pan with a medium flame and (if you want add oi or butter before starting it )put the naan when its lower part cooked in the low flame turn in opposite side and allow that side to cook.surely naan will come like poori and very soft.
Instead of putting in pan you can bake the naan whic tastes good
Then your yummy naan is ready have some tangy spicy side dishes for it
