Soak Sona Masoori rice , Urad dal and Methi seeds for 4-5 hours.
1-2 hours before grinding .. add a fistful of poha to the soaked ingredients .
Separate the upper soft pulp or thirulu from ash gourd. Deseed the rind and discard seeds.The actual ash gourd veggie use for making sambar, majjige huli etc.
We will be using only the softest pulp part for this dosa. We can also make chutney / tambli with this rind.
Grind ash gourd rind and grated coconut . No need to add water .
To the ground ash gourd Coconut mix .. add soaked rice mix. Grind smooth. Add salt, mix and allow to ferment. Note that Ash gourd pulp has a lot of water so make sure .. you grind the batter really thick. Cover and keep aside.
Morning .. you will see that the batter has fermented well. Mix and check the consistency. Add water if required to get regular dosa batter consistency.
Heat a tawa. Pour a ladle full of batter and do like uthappam. Drizzle few drops of oil, cover and cook .
Once the dosa s are cooked from one side , if you want can serve as such or flip and roast other side too. If you want can do thin regular type dosa too ... but ash gourd rind dosa tastes best soft utappam type .
Soft Ash gourd Rind Dosa is ready to relish. Enjoy it hot with choice of chuney / sambar / chutney powder .
