Sorrakaya Appachi / Bottle-Gourd Dosa

Learnt from: My Mom.

Serves: 15 Dosas

Ingredients:

Bottle gourd / Lauki / Sorrakaya or Anapakaya --- 1 small or 2 cups of grated bottle gourd
Rice flour --- 2 Cups (adjust)
Green chilies --- 4
Onions --- 1 ¼ of big one
Red chilly powder --- 1 tsp
Salt --- as per taste

Process of making batter:

Peel, core, & grate bottle-gourd.

Chop green chilies into small pieces. Add green chilies to the grated bottle-gourd.
Chop Onions into small pieces. Add them to the grated bottle-gourd.
Don’t add water…from the grated bottle gourd itself the water will come. Add rice flour little by little and mix it. Make a thick batter out of it.
Add red chilly powder and enough salt to the grated bottle-gourd and mix well.

Let it sit for half an hour.

Process of making Dosa:

Heat griddle.
Take handfuls of batter to ur hand. Toss the batter to become like a round ball.
Keep the batter ball on the griddle and press them with ur finger-tips to make a patty. You can make one big dosa or 3 small dosas on the griddle. But it is easy to make smaller patties and frying them. So I prefer small patties.

Fry the dosa on either side by adding oil on it.

Transfer the dosa to a serving plate.

Serve Hot. Tastes good.

Use how much you want. Keep the rest in fridge. And use for the next day.
