Making Tempering
- In a pan, heat 1 teaspoon oil and add ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds. Let the mustard seeds crackle.
- Then add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds. Saute for a few seconds, till the cumin seeds also crackle and change their color. Fry the spices on a low heat so that the spices do not burn.
- Lastly add 1 teaspoon chopped curry leaves or 5 to 6 chopped curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida (hing). Mix very well and switch off the heat.
- Then add the tempering in the dosa batter and mix very well.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon fruit salt (eno) all over the batter. You can also use ¼ teaspoon baking soda.
- Mix thoroughly.
Making bread dosa
- Heat a well seasoned skillet or tawa. Keep the heat to a low and then take a ladle of the batter.
- Spread the batter gently to a round circular shape. Spread dosa on a low heat. Otherwise they break while spreading.
- Cook the dosa on a low to medium heat. These bread dosas take longer time to cook than traditionally made dosa.
- When the top side looks cooked, spread some oil all over the dosa.
- Flip and then cook the other side for half to one minute. Prepare dosa in batches with the remaining batter.
- Fold and serve bread dosa with coconut chutney.
Notes
- Feel free to add finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, green chillies etc to the batter.
- You can use either whole wheat bread, white bread or brown bread to make bread dosa.
- Depending on the freshness of bread, the water quantity will change. So while making the batter you can add less or more water.
- The recipe can be scaled easily to halve the serving or double it.
