Maida Dosa

Maida dosa is an instant recipe. This is a good breakfast/snack/lunchbox item. Learnt it from my mom.

Ingredients:

3-4 bowls maida batter
Enough water to dilute it
Salt as per requirement
2-3 tsp sugar/jaggery
1 tsp cooking oil/ghee
1/2 tsp mustard and cumin seeds
5-6 curry leaves cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp urad dal
2 green chillies cut into small pieces
1/4 tsp hing/asafoetida
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

How to prepare:

Dilute the all purpose flour/maida with enough water to bring it to the consistency of dosa/pancake batter. Keep aside.
Then in a frying pan, warm oil, crackle mustard seeds and cumin seeds in it. Add curry leaves, urad dal, cut green chillies, hing and turmeric powder. Mix this with the batter. Add salt and sweetness accordingly.

Heat a tava/skillet. Grease it a little. Pour a ladleful of batter and cook both sides well. Maida dosa is ready to be eaten with or without chutney of your choice.
