About Bhindi Dosa

Never in my wildest imagination, I had thought that anybody could make dosa out of lady’s finger !!! A few years ago, in a Facebook group when I first saw these crispy ” Lady’s Finger Dosa / Bhindi Dosa “.. I was like ” What !!! Dosa out of Lady’s finger !! How will it taste ?? Will, it is not be sticky ??!! “.

But I was so amazed seeing the okra dosa pic, that I went ahead and bookmarked the recipe as must-try. I am glad I did try as I was in for a wonderful surprise… Wow !! The dosas had turned so thin, crispy, flavorful and of course super yummy and easy… Now, these Lady’s finger dosa has become a regular in my home. Whenever i buy Bhindi , veggie is used to make something and the tips are saved to make this dosa .. Happy that nothing goes waste !!

When I tried this dosa 1st time, i was so panicked seeing the dosa batter. It was so so slimy. I was so upset and felt what do I do with this batter now?? To my surprise ,next day when I did dosa out of them.. they were so perfect just like any other dosa. My mom and friends too took the recipe from me and tried and were amused by the end result. Everyone just loved them. Do try friends.. I’m sure you too would love it and add it to your breakfast list…

It ‘s also a good way to finish of those few over grown Okras sitting in the fridge.

Bhindi Dosa recipe with step by step photos :

• Wash and soak rice, urad dal and methi seeds for 4-5 hours .

• Cut lady’s finger to big chunks. Alternatively, u can use lady’s finger tips. I always use bhindi tips only to make this dosa . You too try .

• To a mixer add lady’s finger tips . Grind them adding little water.

• Once its ground to a paste, add soaked rice and dal mixture to the bhindi paste and grind all to get a smooth batter.

• Lastly add salt to the batter and mix well. Allow the batter to ferment overnight or for 4-8 hours. Fermentation time varies based on your climate .

• In the morning, you will see that the batter would have fermented . Mix well using a laddle. Add water if required and adjust consistency like regular dosa batter. Don’t panic seeing the batter gooey. It would be so but you will be able to spread dosa’s like normal dosa.
