What is a dosa?

Dosa is a South Indian crispy thin crepe made with fermented batter made of rice and lentil.

Making a dosa with mango spread is simple. First make a dosa like how you normally do and spread delicious mango puree over it. If your mangoes are not sweet, you can add sugar to it. The result is delicious. Your kids will love it too.

Ingredients to make open dosa with mango spread:

1. Rice: I have used dosa rice in this recipe. If dosa rice is not available, you can use any other type of rice.
2. Black Gram Dal: Black gram dal is also known as urad dal. It is a lentil and is added to dosa to make it tastier.
3. Fenugreek seeds: Fenugreek seeds or methi makes the fermentation of dosa batter faster and helps in making crispy dosas.
4. Mango: I had used fresh and juicy Alphonso mangoes. You can use any type of juicy mangoes.
5. Sugar: Sugar is an optional ingredient and can be added only if the mangoes are not sweet. Sugar quantity can be increased based on the sweetness of the mangoes.
6. Cardamom powder: Cardamom powder adds a fragrant taste to the recipe.

How to make this dosa with mango puree:

1. To make dosa, we must soak rice and lentils separately for 4 hours. After 4 hours, we must grind soaked rice and lentils separately and mix both to make dosa batter. This must ferment overnight.
2. Next, we make the mango puree. For that, wash and peel the mangoes. Extract mango pulp. Mash the mango pulp using a hand blender. If the mangoes are not sweet, add little sugar. Add little cardamom powder for extra flavor.
3. Now to make mango dosa, heat a non-stick pan or tava or griddle. Spread little oil, it not using non-stick pan. Spread 1 ladle full of dosa batter.
4. After the top of the dosa is cooked, spread some mango puree.
5. The dosa is done when the edges of the dosa separates from the pan and mango puree dries and loses some water.

When my hubby told me to make a mango dosa, I wondered what he is talking about and how will it taste. I laughed at the idea. But then he made it right from scratch and told me to taste it. It was delicious.
