Instant Besan Flour Dosa with Zucchini/Kadalai Maavu Dosai/Kadalai Maavu Dosai Recipe with step by step photos

This is a very simple, quick and healthy dosa which involves no grinding and no fermentation. This is similar to Rajasthani Puda but has the additional benefit of zucchini added to it. Zucchini is a summer squash, is a very delicate vegetable which needs very little time to cook. I came across this dosa in Manjulas kitchen, but made some changes by adding different ingredients. Meanwhile do check out other interesting and healthy Breakfast Recipes here.

Here’s how to make zucchini besan flour dosa with step by step photos…

Author: Priya Anandakumar

Method
Wash and peel the zucchini (courgette) and grate them with a grater and keep it aside.

In a deep bowl add all the ingredients mentioned in the above table, except oil without adding water. This is to get rid of any lumps present.


Now add enough water to the dry mixture and mix it really well to make dosa batter consistency.

Heat tawa in the stove, pour one big ladle full of batter and make dosa. Add a tsp of oil along the edges of the dosa. Cook them evenly on both sides to golden brown color.

Delicious and healthy besan flour dosa is ready, serve it hot with any hot and spicy chutney.
