Indian Pizza

Summer is the time to stay light on food as well, something that is easy to digest, be it a light snack or regular meals. Today, I would like to share with you one such snack that is a variant of South Indian Dosa. This is not that regular dosa which is cooked out of rice, so let’s name it “Indian Pizza”

Indian Pizza

Ingredients:

1 cup Sooji (Rawa/Semolina)

6 Bread Slices
2 teaspoon rice flour
1 cup yoghurt (whipped)

½ grated carrots

½ cup finely chopped capsicums

½ teaspoon each finely chopped Ginger & green chilly
(Soaked in water for 10 minutes)

1 teaspoon each Bengal gram & split black gram
1 medium size onion
2 teaspoon fresh coconut, grated
8-10 curry leaves
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 dry red chillies
2 teaspoon oil


Method:

Cut the edges of the bread slices and soak it in water. Make a thick paste of Sooji, rice flour & yoghurt. Add salt to taste. Squeeze the bread slices to drain off the excess water and add it to the batter. Blend the batter well in a mixer. Pour the batter into a large bowl.

Heat a pan and pour 2 teaspoon oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chillies, soaked Bengal gram and split black gram chopped green chillies and onion and sauté until brown. Let it cool for some time.

Add this seasoning to the batter along with chopped capsicum, grated carrot and coconut. Mix this batter well. Place a non-stick pan on medium flame and clean the same with wet cloth. Spread a ladle of batter on the pan and sprinkle few drops of oil on the batter and cover it. Once cooked, turn it and cook on the other side too until brown.

Serve this with an accompaniment of your choice. My preference would be to make red chilli coconut chutney. Here is quick recipe. Take one cup fresh grated coconut, 2-3 roasted red chillies, tamarind, and sugar, salt to taste and blend it into a fine paste in a mixer. And the chutney is ready to serve...
