Cucumber Dosa | Southekai Dose | Cucumber Crepes : Gluten free and vegan recipe.



Learn how to make cucumber dosa | southekayi dose or gluten free crepes,

Cucumber dosa doesn't need any fermentation. It's very quick to make, gluten free, vegan and healthy dosa recipe. The specialty of this dosa is, it stays soft for hours. You can pack this for lunch and also eat it cold or at room temperature.

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: About 90 secs for each dosa
Soaking Time: 3-5 hours
Makes about 20 dosas



Ingredients:
Rice: 2 cups, refer notes
Cucumber: 2 medium sized or 1.5 large, refer notes
Salt: As needed
Water: As needed

Oil: A few drops for each dosa


Method:
Wash the rice thoroughly and soak the rice in enough water for 3-5 hours.
Drain the water from the rice. Reserve the drained water.

First add half the cucumber cubes and half the soaked rice to the mixie or food processor.




Do not add water while grinding the rice. The cucumber oozes out enough water to grind the rice to a smooth paste.
Repeat the grinding process until all the rice and cucumber is ground to a smooth paste.
Scoop out the paste in a sauce pan or a mixing bowl. 

Add enough water (you can use the drained water here!) and salt. Mix well.
Let it sit for 10 mins (not really needed though)
Heat a griddle. I use a cast iron griddle to make my dosas. Make dosas similar to rava dosa or neer dosa. You can refer the video here. You need to cook only one side for this dosa.

Serve the dosa hot or at room temperature with a chutney/dip of your choice. 


Notes:
  • I have used sona masoori rice, basmati rice, and ponni rice to make this dosa. You can use any rice of your choice. I however do not recommend boiled rice or idli rice.
  • I use the whole cucumber as is with the skin and the seeds. You could peel the skin, if you want to. I roughly use about 2 to 2.5 cups of 1 inch cubed cucumbers. 
  • Try to use a tender cucumber in which the seeds are soft.
  • You can add green chili if you wish. I do not add.
  • It is important to add the cucumber cubes to the mixie jar or food processor first, followed by soaked rice.
