Karivepillai Dosai / Curryleaves Dosa


Coming to day 2 themed under colorful dosa is a pale green colored dosa made with curry leaves.Back in India my mom used to make a dosa with ballon vine(mudaikatahn keerai).Some times curry leaves can also be added along with it.Since I don't get ballon vine here,made it only with curry leaves.
The dosa came out so well with the flavor of curry leaves and cumin,pepper.This dosa tastes good when it is straight from the pan.It turns slightly hard when its cool down.So I personally prefer to have it when its is warm.Both coconut chutney and spicy chutney goes well with this dosa.Off to the recipe.................

  17. Curry leaves must have imparted wonderful flavor to dosa. Another good point is, there is no need of fermentation. Can it be made using rice flour?

  19. From the look of the dosa itself I guessed this is made only from rice (without urad dal). Your dosa has come out perfectly...
