Thazhuthama dosa
Thazhuthama/punarnava - a lot said about the wonder herb in the internet.
Its good with lot of nutritional value and is good for eyes and I found it to be very good for lactation as well.
Dosa can be prepared in the following way
Ingredients :
White rice (2 cups) - I used idly rice.
Red chillies -8 no's
tamarind- a small piece
Turmeric -1/4 tea spoon
Asafeotida/Hing- 1/4 tspn
Salt-as needed
1. Wash rice and soak it overnight
2. Grind the drained rice with the other ingredients with water as needed.The batter should not be very watery. .Last put salt as needed.
3. Finally add chopped thazhuthama to the batter.
4. Apply oil on the iron pan and spread the batter and cover with a lid in slow flame for 3 mins.
5. Spread some oil on the top and flip the other side to fry the other side for 50 seconds.
The thazhuthama dosa is ready.
You can adjust the water to make idly of the same. Preparation remains the same but only less water is needed for grinding and the batter should be grinded in the idly batter consistency.Pour the idly batter in the idly tray and steam it. Top it with coconut oil and serve.
You can try the same batter by putting chopped cabbage/ spinach/ grated carrot / grated beetroot or any vegetable of your choice. If added cabbage instead of thazhuthama it will become cabbage dosa.It become a kid friendly carrot dosa if we add grated carrot.
However my personal choice is thazhuthama as the leaf has a great flavour and is good for health. I include the thazhuthama dosa once/ twice a week in my breakfast menu.
