Carrot Cucumber Dosa for Summer

I would call this is as cool Dosa :) I learnt this from my friend when I visited her once. It tasted

amazing, and I made slight changes to it. If you have dosa batter and bored to have plain dosa just spice it up. You or your kids won't be disappointed. Lets see how to prepare it.

Ingredients:

1. Left over dosa batter
2. Grated carrot, cucumber (you may also use beetroot for a beet color)
3. Finely chopped green chili
4. oil for dosa
5. Salt

Preparation:

1. Mix all the ingredients to the dosa batter, add little water if the batter is too thick. Do not add too much of water as cucumber oozes out water.
2. Add little more salt as now you vegetables in it.
3. Heat a tawa, pour batter and spread it out to form thin dosa evenly, reduce the flame
4. Sprinkle oil on top, 
5. Turn over and cook the other side for less than a minute. 
6. Serve hot as it is or with chutney

Remember to cook in low flame as we want the dosa thin and crispy, this also prevents it from browning overly.
