DOSA WITH KARAM~KARAM DOSA

Dosa with Karam or erra karam dosa is a very famous tiffin in Nellore most loved by people who love spicy food...here is how it is



Ingredients
For Dosa Batter
1. Rice 3cups
2. Parboiled rice 1 cup
3.Urad Dal 1 cup
4. Fenugreek Seeds- 1/4 tsp
5.Soda 1/4 tsp
6.Salt to taste


For Erra Karam
1. Onions 3 
2. Salt to taste
3. Red chillies 4 to 6(depends on how spicy you want)
4. Jeera 1 tsp
Method
1.For the dosa batter soak rice, parboiled rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in water for 5 to 6 hours.  Later grind together for dosa consistency and let it ferment overnight.
2. To make perfect dosa..the dosa tava should be rubbed with oil with a cut onion, the first one or two dosas may not turn out good (use oil liberally for first dosas in order to avoid sticking) but later on the dosas will come out very crispy and we can use less oil.
3.Mix water to dosa batter and add salt, soda and make dosa batter consistency.  Take a ladle full of batter and make dosa..sprinkling oil all around the dosa...so it can come out easily.  As methi seeds are added in batter it gives a good brown color..if well cooked..no need to turn other side.

4. For the karam grind all the ingredients without using water..the moisture in onions is enough to make a paste.
5. Now spread this red chilly paste when the dosa is cooking and serve with ghee or any chutney or potato curry.
