Banana Sweet Dosa is a special dosa prepared exclusively in Mangalore region. It is made from ripe banana, rice, coconut and jaggery.
Ingredients:Ripe Bananas – 8 (small variety), finely mashed
Rice – 2 cups
Jaggery – 1 cup, grated
Fresh Coconut – 1 cup, grated
Beaten Rice/Poha – 1/2 cup
Ghee – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Rice – 2 cups
Jaggery – 1 cup, grated
Fresh Coconut – 1 cup, grated
Beaten Rice/Poha – 1/2 cup
Ghee – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Method:
- Soak rice for 2-3hrs.
- Discard the water from soaked rice and grind it into smooth batter with fresh coconut and mashed banana. Add very little water (later while you add jaggery, the consistency of batter becomes thinner.)
- Meanwhile soak beaten rice/poha in water for 30 minutes.
- Now add jaggery, salt and beaten rice. Grind until the batter becomes smooth. Do not let this batter ferment. The batter should have pouring consistency.
- On a preheated griddle, spread some batter to make a thick dosa. Set flame to medium. Spread some ghee and flip the side and roast the dosa little bit.
- Serve hot with chutney or pickle. The left over batter can be refrigerated in an air tight container without allowing it to ferment.
