Edmame Dosa

It may appear that we are on Edmame diet these days. :-D But I had to share this one. This edmame Dosa got created at the very last minute. Gudiya came back from her soccer practice. She was ravenous. I totally underestimated dhokla steaming time. I didn't want Gudiya to eat anything from the pantry. So in desperation, I took some remaining batter of the dhokla, added more water to resemble dosa batter and took out dosas - just in time! I perfected the recipe over time to blog about it here.


Edmame Dosa
Ingredients
1/2 cup chana daal
1/2 cup urad daal
1/2 cup rice

1 cup fresh edmames, shelled - if frozen, thawed completely
1" ginger, peeled & chopped
salt to taste
1/2 tsp asafoetida

sesame oil for roasting (any other oil will work too)

Method
1. Soak 2 daals and rice overnight.
2. Grind with remaining ingredients except oil.
3. Cover and keep aside for 2-3 hours.
4. Add water to get the pancake batter consistency.
5. Heat pan/tawa/griddle. Spread dosa batter. Roast using oil as necessary on both sides.
6. Serve with chutney of your choice. My choice is Edmame chutney.

Note -
1. Make sure that edmame are completely thawed.
