Paan polo or Neer dosa/ Rice crepe is my go-to when I desire to laid upwardly dosas at in i trial too receive got non planned for it. This happens if I receive got non terra firma the dosa batter a 24-hour interval ahead too left it to ferment because I had a busy calendar week or sometimes simply obviously forgot! The practiced affair virtually Paan polo/ Neer dosa is that the batter does non demand fermentation! The rice could endure soaked for every bit less every bit i lx minutes inward hot water. Or fifty-fifty better, simply role rice flour! Something interesting happened recently.. I came across a recipe online that used Ragi flour( finger millet) for Paan pole. I was intrigued.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Raagi ( finger millet) flour: 1 cup
Jeera ( cumin seeds): 1/4 tsp( optional)
Water: iii cups+ two cups
Salt: every bit per taste
Oil: for greasing the skillet/griddle( I role kokosnoot oil). You could role whatever cooking oil.

Method:

Mix Ragi/finger millet flour amongst iii cups water. Keep aside for fifteen mins.

After fifteen mins, discard the overstep H2O too the night Raagi husk until y'all accomplish the lighter sediment.

Now add together two to a greater extent than cups of H2O too common salt too blend it for thirty seconds, using a paw blender or using a regular blender. Blending ensures that y'all instruct a prissy homogenous batter. The batter should endure sparse too free-flowing.

Add the cumin seeds to the batter. You could skip the cumin seeds if y'all don't assist for the sense of savor of cumin.

Heat a griddle/ skillet on medium heat.Grease the skillet/ griddle liberally amongst kokosnoot oil.

When the griddle is hot, accept a ladleful of batter too pour it from out to in. This batter cannot endure spread. It needs to endure poured. Instead of the ladle y'all could role a minor loving cup or soup ladle to pour the batter.

The batter hisses too spreads similar a lace on the griddle. It cooks real quickly. When cooked, crimp it into a triangle.

Remove too operate on it inward a hot box ( something similar a tortilla box).

Serve hot amongst a chutney of your choice.

My kids similar it amongst a dollop of butter too around dearest or jaggery syrup:).

Cooking made easy:

The play tricks to making practiced dosas too the dosas non sticking to your skillet/griddle is past times ensuring that it is greased well. Also, for Neer dosa the temperature of the griddle has to endure maintained hot throughout.You cannot lower the flame.

Try to role carve upwardly griddles/ tawa/skillet for dosa too chapatis. My sense has shown that roasting chapatis on the dosa tawa spoils the seasoning of the tawa too makes it to a greater extent than belike that when y'all endeavor to brand dosas, they stick to the skillet leaving a mucilaginous mess.

Always, ever endure gentle land cleaning your skillet/ tawa. Do non role harsh scrubs or potent detergents. This in i trial to a greater extent than messes upwardly the seasoning of the skillet/griddle/tawa.
