    Fresh turmeric dosai

    Benefits of using turmeric

    Turmeric is a natural colourant.

    It has anti inflammatory properties and hence used since olden days as an applicant on inflamed areas

    Turmeric when consumed regularly will increase the antioxidants in our body

    Widely used in many drugs

    Cosmetically this helps to shed facial hair when applied as a paste regularly.

    TURMERIC DOSAI OR MANJAL DOSAI

    You must be already be knowing about the culinary uses of turmeric . Turmeric latte seems to be in the lime light for some time now. Here I have used fresh turmeric in the dosai batter. Read about this dosai in a book by Chandra Padmanabhan and was very surprised to see that fresh turmeric has these uses. She says this is prepared by the tulu speaking people during diwali.Taste and flavour of fresh turmeric is an acquired taste though. It has a certain earthy feel to it. We loved it and am sure you will too

    Steps

    1

    Soak the parboiled rice, urad dal, methi seeds in enough water for 3 hours

    Remove the skin of the fresh turmeric and cut into pieces
    3

    Now add soaked rice, dal mixture, turmeric to the jar of the mixer and grind it into a smooth paste
    4
    Done

    Add salt and grind again for 1 minute
    5
    Done

    Transfer everything to a large bowl and keep it covered overnight
    6
    Done

    Next day mix the batter well. It would have doubled in volume
    7
    Done

    Heat a dosa tava on medium heat. When sufficiently hot add a ladle full of batter and prepare like regular dosai. I use coconut oil for drizzling. You can choose to use the oil of your preference
    8
    Done

    When it starts to become golden brown, flip it on the other side. Alternatively you can cover it and cook only on one side
    9
    Done

    Make all the dosai in the same manner and serve warm with chutney of your choice
