Yummy Dosa....Nellore Dosa....Venkata Ramana Hotel Dosa

Hello Readers,
How are you all doing?? Its a relaxed saturday where I am taking rest from head to heels. This gives lot of energy to have a loaded weekdays. Sometimes,, feeling tiered of having regular meals or items. One item alltime favourite for everybody from a 2 year old kid to 70 year old uncle is none other than DOSA......They are so yummy and tasty. I already got a name of DOSA QUEEN in my family. This Dosa is 365 days available at my home. IF you are happy, sad, moodoff,mood on.............whatever is your state of mind, one item that goes well with a simple chutney or avakai or anything is just an Yummy DOSA. I feel so proud of having such name because I am a Dosa Fan.

Let me take you to a glance of DOSA preperation.

1. 1 cup Urad dal aka Minapappu
2. 3-4 cups rice.
The more rice is, the crisp the dosa will be.

Just grind both of them thoroughly with a grinder. Mixie dosas also good but grinder dosas are much more tasty. This is the simple trick that we get hotel style dosas.

Take a laddle of batter and pour it on Flat Pan(Penumu in Telugu). Spread it evenly. Pour 1 -3 spoons oil for a dosa depending on your oil liking.
In 2 mins, your dosa will be ready. This goes well with any chutney.
Try it out!!! Though this is a basic style, we can have variation in it.

Along with this we can add some vegetables like Cucumber,Sorakaya etc.

Hello Viewers,
I thought of posting Errakaram today. I remember there used to be a small hotel in Nellore in balaji nagar and they are hailed from tamilnadu , Errakaram dosam made by them are used to be my all time favourite. My uncle used to bring whenever we go there for vacation. I could still feel the taste buds of that taste, though it is morethan 20 years that I had. But with multiple tries, I could succeed in bringing that taste back and my brother used to appreciate me for bringing the memories back with my Erra karam dosa. Its so simple and the secret is - this karam tastes wonderful the next day than first day. Fine, try it out and leave your feedback.
Ingredients :

1. Mirapakayalu - 10
2. Onion - 1 big
3. Salt to taste
4. Popu

Preperation: Grind mirapakayalu and onion and salt to a fine paste. Add popu to it. Keep it in fridge. Next day you can just spread it on dosa, your errakaram dosa is ready!!!
