Aapa

-

Aapa, a soft, spongy and sweet dosa made with coconut and rice. It's one of the dosa made in our house after vaina Pooja (Gouri Pooja) , as we exchange vaina narlu(coconut) with our relatives after performing pooja. This coconut we use to make any sweet or dosa.

This is my granny's recipe and when I was at my mom's place this time, she made this specially for my youtube channel. 

This dosa tastes good when served hot with spicy coconut chutney and homemade butter.

  2. Grate the 2 coconuts and keep aside. 
  3. Now, grind coconut using little water. It should be ground to smooth paste. 
  4. Once done, drain off the water from soaked rice. Add the rice to the coconut paste and grind until you get a free flowing smooth batter. (add water gradually) 
  5. Once the batter is ready, transfer to a large vessel. Add sugar, Baking soda and salt. Mix well until sugar is dissolved. 
  6. Cover and let it ferment overnight. 
  7. Next day, you can see the well fermented batter. Jus mix it gently. 
  8. Heat a deep kadai. Grease with coconut oil. 
  9. Pour a ladle full of batter. Don't spread. 
  10. Put coconut oil to the sides. Cover and cook until the dosa is half cooked. 
  11. Now gently flip, add oil to the sides and let it cook until light brown. 
  12. Once done, transfer to a plate. Repeat the same process with remaining batter.

Notes:

Cook the dosas on medium flame. Use coconut oil for authentic taste. Keep a large plate under the vessel during fermentation. This protects the overflowed batter.

Chicken Uruval

Chicken Uruval or Urval is a famous and delicious Mangalorean dish. It is very simple to prepare, yet very rich in taste. It is a spicy, tangy and very flavorful dish mostly served as an appetizer. This dish has very less ingredients. The main taste of this dish is from the masala paste prepared using red chillies, cashewnuts and few whole spices. Paste should be fried properly in butter. I just marinated the chicken and cooked with the paste. But in restaurants they deep fry the chicken pieces.
