Ash Gourd Dosa


          Today I would like to share this healthy veggie dosa with ash gourd, which is high in calcium, iron and vitamins besides other nutritional benefits. If you want to give a twist to your usual breakfast recipe with dosa, then do try this out. 

          It turned out absolutely delicious and soft and I relished with tomato-coconut chutney and sambar. I added rice flour to the ground ash gourd but you can also grind soaked rice too instead. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.





  • 1 cup Ash Gourd, chopped
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 1/2 cup coriander stems, chopped
  • 1" ginger, chopped
  • 2-3 green chilies
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp. cumin powder
  • oil to shallow fry
  • chutney and sambar to serve





          Grind ash gourd, ginger, coriander stems and green chilies into a smooth paste. Add the rice flour, cumin powder and required quantity of water to get the perfect consistency. Ferment overnight.

          Heat a non-stick tawa and drizzle some oil. Then sprinkle some water and wipe clean with a kitchen towel.

          Now drop a ladleful of the batter and spread it round in a circular motion with the back of the ladle. Drizzle some oil over and around the edges.

          Cook on a medium flame for 1-2 minutes and then flip it over to cook the other side too. Prepare similar dosas with the remaining batter and serve them hot with chutney and sambar.
