When a choice is given between idli or dosai, usually dosai wins hands down. But even the ever favorite dosai can get boring after a while but jazzing it up by adding some color never hurts. Hand anything colorful, over to the kids or adults for that matter curiosity gets the better of them and then the taste buds take over. Beet dosai is one such, the color is amazing and a taste to match.
Ingredients
1. Few Days old dosai batter
2. Grated Beetroot
3. Finely chopped onion
4. finely chopped green chilies (optional)
Method
1. Mix ingr 1-4, adding salt if necessary
2. Heat a hot griddle, pour a laddle of batter, sperad thinly in a circular motion
3. Add oil to the edges.
4. Flip, cook on the other side
Serve with chutney of choice. We had them with Tomato Mashers.
