Plantains are a rich in fiber and has very less fat.I used to prepare sambharor stir fry using plantain. Dosas using plantain is quite a different one, original recipe was adapted from redchillies and I have made some changes by adding urad dal, fennel seeds and onions.
Original recipe suggest adding coconut, it can also be added I have not included it in my recipe
Ingredients:
Raw Rice - 1 cup
Urad dal- 1/4 cup
Raw Banana- 1 (Big one)
Green Chillies- 4
Hing- a pinch
Fennel seeds- 1 table spoon
Tapioca- 2 table spoon
Onion- 1 medium size (chopped finely)
Cilantro leaves- little (chopped finely)
Preparation time : 4 hours ; Cook time - 40 mins
We can get 8-9 dosas for this measurement
Method:
Soak raw rice with tapioca for 3 hours. Soak urad dal separately for 1 hour.
Add raw banana,green chillies,Urad dal, Hing, Fennel seeds in a blender and grind to a smooth paste, then add the soaked rice+tapioca and grind with water to the consistency of dosa batter
Blending raw banana first prevents the formation of lumps.
Mix the finely chopped onion,cilantro and add salt as per taste (ref: last image)
Heat the iron griddle, apply oil and pour the batter using ladle gently spread the batter using the curved end of the laddle as a flat circle, dont worry if the shape is exactly not a circle
Pour a table spoon of oil and let it cook until the edges appear golden brown in color.
Once the color changes flip it and cook on the other side
Serve with any chutney or sambhar and enjoy!!!!!
