I am happy to be the first, in posting a Thengai dosai/neer dosa with Mappilai Samba Rice. Mapillai Samba or Bridegroom Rice is a native variety of rice, which is red in colour and is grown in Tamilnadu. It is very helpful in prostate problems which comes for gents after an age. It reduces the LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholestrol in the body. Since it has a low glycemic index it is good for diabetes too. It improves immunity and stamina, strengthens muscles and nerves. It has a good source of zinc and the anti-oxidants present in the red colour also increases haemoglobin. All dishes like Idli, Dosa, uthappam, paniyaram, aappam, upma, pongal can be made with this rice. This rice can be soaked and processed to flour to make puttu, kozhukattais and sevai.
Coming to the recipe,
INGREDIENTS:
Mappillai samba rice - 1 cup
Raw Rice - 1 cup (Dosa rice can also be used)
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Salt to taste
Oil - to drizzle
METHOD:
Soak Mappillai sa,mba rice and raw rice together for not less than 6 hours. You can also soak it overnight. Grind it with grated coconut and salt to a coarse (chiroti rava like) paste. Do not grind to a fine paste. (Do not allow the batter to ferment).
Add water and make a medium-thin batter (the batter should not be very watery or very thick).
Heat a dosa pan, add a drop of oil, wipe with a kitchen tissue, pour the batter from the sides (as of rava-dosa).
Drizzle very little oil to the sides. When done, flip it to the other side. Mix the batter well every time you pour dosa. Serve hot.
Goes well with dosai molaga podi.
