bottle gourd dosa recipe | instant lauki dosa recipe | sorekai dose with step by step photo and video recipe. dosa recipes or particularly instant dose recipes are always handy recipes to have in your pantry. these are not only easy and quick to prepare, but also a tasty and healthy alternative compared to the lengthy traditional one. one such easy and simple instant dosa recipe is lauki dosa or bottle gourd dosa recipe known for its healthy and flavour aspects.
well, as i was explaining, this instant and crispy dosa recipe are very similar to the rava dosa recipe or to my latest aloo dosa recipe. in aloo dosa, i had used boiled and mashed potatoes paste and mixed it with rava and rice flour batter. this way it makes it instant and no fermentation is required. however, there is another way of preparing the same dosa. it includes soaking, fermentation, grounding and overnight preparation. even this way of preparing results in a tasty dosa, but i personally prefer to have an instant version compared to the lengthy version. this makes it easy and ideal dosa for most of us especially when you have not planned the previous night for morning breakfast.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the bottle gourd dosa recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used only rice flour and rava on top of bottle gourd paste. these 2 flours are more than sufficient for a crisp dosa, but you may also add maida or wheat flour to make it less crispy. secondly, similar to rava dosa recipe, it has to be roasted in a low to medium flame to get that extra crispiness. also i would recommend using a non-stick dosa pan or tawa and avoid using cast iron. a non-stick pan helps to get crisp and to remove easily. lastly, with this post i have also shared the spicy red chutney which should be ideal for this dosa. but you may also serve it with coconut or even pickle too.
finally, i request you to check my other related dosa recipes collection with this post of bottle gourd dosa recipe. it mainly includes my other related recipes like stuffed dosa, masala dosa, coconut dosa, aloo dosa, corn pancake, dosa batter, bread dosa, vegetable pancake, besan dosa, bun dosa. further to these i would also like to add some more additional recipe categories like,
