Erra karam for Karam dosa and Idly,dosa and all breakfast recipes

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!!!

Taste it, you will never forget this taste and this can't be compared with any pizza,burger or any Chinese.....This dosa is of its own taste!!!

Puli bongaralu aka Bonda

Nellore style Dosa

Hello Readers,
A wonderful recipe to all of you. Hope we all love "Dosa" especially with coconut chutney,sambar,karam with lot of other variations too. For me, I prefer to have dosa with anything. It is all time favourite recipe for my entire home right from kids till old people.
I still explore to have different tastes of dosa whenever I visit any hotel in Nellore. So far I am able to crack dosa tastes similar to hotels like Venkata ramana vilas/Murali Krishna.
Mouthwaterning Isn't it?? Chalo, let me tell you the secrets of Dosa!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think there is any other breakfast on the earth will be as good as our Dosa.
Normal Dosa:
1. Minapappu - 1 cup
2. Rice - 3 cups
3. Menthulu - 1 spoon

With these ingredients you will get routine dosas.

 If you want to have puffy dosas add -

4. 1/2 cup Atukulu

If you want to have crispy dosas with reddish color add -

5. 1 spoon cooked rice(better to complete the batter in one or two days if you are adding cooked rice)

If you wanted to have set dosa with little bulge add -
6. 1/2 cup Saggubiyyam along with 1/2 cup atukulu separately and knead it along with dosa batter.

If you wanted to have quite good village style dosas, add
7. Couple of spoons of maida floor.No doubt they tastes the best in world.

You can have everything in onetime in while grinding dosa batter and see the difference in enriching hotel taste!!!These are all business secrets, but we can crack it!!!
