Cabbage Dose

 Try this very yummy, and popular dose from coastal Karnataka region. This is basically heerekai chatti hittu, with finely chopped cabbage as vegetable instead of ridge gourd. I didn’t know it could be made with cabbage as well. My mom makes it with ridge gourd, spinach and dantina soppu(amaranth leaves). This recipe is from Hebbar’s kitchen [link given below]. 

This pic was taken when I made it for the very first time, hence the poor color and scarce veggies :). Now the color is lot more better and I am adding lot more cabbage, sometimes a mix of veggies like cabbage, spinach and onion too. But alas! the photographer(aka my husband) is showing a lot of “nakhara” these days to take pictures! 

Ingredients

Cabbage - very finely chopped

Rice - 1 cup

Urad dal - 2 tbsp

Methi seeds - 1/2 tsp

For masala paste

Red chili - 5-6

Coconut - 1 cup

Coriander seeds - 2 tbsp

Jeera - 1 tbsp

Tamarind paste - 3 tbsp

Jaggery - 1/4th cup

Method

In a bowl take rice, urad dal and methi seeds. Wash nicely, add red chilies to this and soak for at least 5-6 hrs. Take out soaked chili in a mixie. Grind this with coconut, coriander seeds, and other ingredients listed under ‘masala paste’. 

You can grind rice mixture either in the same mixie, or in a wet grinder. Grind to a smooth batter. Take it out in a container. Add masala paste, turmeric, salt to taste, finely chopped cabbage. Mix well. Add water to bring it to dosa batter consistency. 

Spread on a hot tava like a thick dosa. Cover and cook. Flip over and cook again. Serve hot.
