VAZHATHANDU DOSA!!!!!!!!
* Banana stem is a rich source of Fiber.
*Rich in Pottasium and Vitamin B6
*Relieves constipation
*Improves body's ability to fight infections
*It prevents and treats kidney stones

So, when I saw on Instagram @shrikripa7 i decided to try it out.
Checked her https://shrikripa.in for the detailed recipe and it turned out to be a big hit!!! My thanks to her. I tried making thin and crisp dosas as well as soft, slightly thicker dosas with several holes...both came out well. Please check out my other dosa varieties here      I have so far posted 26 varieties of dosas.
My recent drumstick leaves dosa has won lot of accolades...please don't forget to check and make that!

Ingredients

Idli rice + Boiled rice - 2 cups

Whole urad dhal - 1/4 cup

Methi/fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp

Chopped banana stem - 2 cups

Jeera - 1 tsp (This is the one modification I did to the recipe)

Salt to taste

Enough oil to make the dosas

Recipe cuisine: South Indian; Category: Breakfast/lunch/dinner

Soaking time: 2-3 hours; Prep time: 15 mts; Cooking time: 2-3 mts for each dosa

Roughly yields 12 dosas

First peel the outer layers of the stem, chop them into roundels.

Then chop them

Rice, urad dhal and methi seeds soaked for 2-3 hours, after washing them first well

Loaded into a blender jar, with salt to taste

Chopped banana stem too added

Ground to a smooth consistency, and jeera added

and mixed well, let aside to ferment for 6-7 hours. I ground by morning 8 am, and it was ready by 5 pm itself

Fermented batter

Heat a tava, pour one ladle in the center, 

and spread to the corners, just like our regular dosa, and drizzle little bit oil around. Cook on medium flames

Flip over, no need oil again

Well roasted now

This is the soft variety dosa

Served with coriander-mint chutney

Notes

*If the quantity is more, we can grind in a grinder too, pulse the banana stems in a blender/mixi and add, when the other things are half done
