Good Evening People, Today.. We will be hopping for week 5 of "Blog hop Wednesdays" . To know how is hoping with us, Please Click here.

Ahh.. I am having this writers block, have no words to type.. so empty-headed.. Does it happen to anyone..? when u want to have to write something, and get struck in a line for a really really long time.. When it happens to me , I end up not writing or I revisit again after eating something :) and the best part, it works for me !! So, now I am off to a big scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.. YAY !!

SAVORY CREPES / ADAI

It was Ramdhan yesterday.. A beautiful morning.. it was cold unusually. We had to leave for prayer by 8 o clock.. Since its been hot lately.. We were not dressed for breezy weather.. Eid prayer was in a park.. by the time we reached there.. clouds cleared and there was a bit of sun and became a very pleasant morning..  not cold not hot.. just perfect.. :) then later we went to one of our favorite restaurant for lunch and some shopping and treated ourselves :) This week is gonna pass so fast ... I feel that way when we get a break in week days.. :))

NOODLES CUTLET

Lot of ground to cover :))

BANANA PANCAKES / DOSA

I was so distracted earlier this week , I am guessing everyone was psyched out with the Blogger website put on hold for almost two days with the "read only mode" status.. errr.. I was having problems from Monday but then it was on and off.. Until Thursday , I did not know there was anything called MAINTENANCE  even existed.. I was so worried I was gonna loose my Blog and was wondering if I had any back up.. How funny.. :)  Now people , stop laughing :)  

PESARATTU / GREEN GRAM DHAL DOSA

Ingredients

Green Gram Dhal - 1 cup

Rice - 3/4 cup

Ginger - 1 inch

Green Chillies - 2

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

For topping

Onion - 1 no.

Green Chillies - 1 no.

Ginger - little

Preparation

• Soak green gram dhal and rice in a vessel for 6 hours.
• Grind them along with ginger, chillies and cumin seeds into a fine paste, like dosa batter.
• Set aside the batter,, now chop onions , ginger and green chillies finely.
• Heat the dosa skillet on the stove and once hot, take a nice sizeable laddle to spread the dosa mixture on the skillet , now sprinkle some onions , ginger and green chillies ..tab it gently with the laddle, so it gets stuck with the dosa .
• Use little oil on the sides of the dosa and go over the center too..
• Now cook the other side also ,, when your sure both the sides are nicely cooked ,transfer it to a plate.
• Serve with chutney..

Tips & Tricks

1) Firstly this dosa goes so well with capsicum chutney ( which is there under my 'chutney's label), even onion chutney goes well..

2) If you want the dosa's to be very crispy,, you can use equal proportions of green gram dhal and rice.
