Vazhai Pazha Dosai/Banana Dosa

 Banana is a staple food in my house and most of the times it becomes so ripe that both of us do not want to eat it. Hating to throw away food in trash, I am always thinking of ways to include them in everyday food.

The other day when we were watching Pandiyaraj's son's debut movie Kai Vandha Kalai. In the movie Pandian makes Vazhai Pazha dosai for his future son-in-law.  What a great way to use those left over ripe banana's. So here it is. The recipe for Banana Dosa.

Ingredients:
2-3 Ripe Banana's
2 cups Rice- 2 cups
1/2 cup Aval/Poha/beaten rice
1 tsp methi seeds
Salt to taste

Soak the rice, Aval and methi seeds in water for 5 hrs. Peel the Banana's and mash them. Put the banana, soaked rice, aval and methi seeds in a grinder or blender. Add some water and grind to the consistency of a Dosa Batter.

Tip: It is always good to add water in little increments while grinding as this will give us a good idea on the consistency of the batter we are preparing.

Remove and keep it over night for fermentation.

When you are ready to eat the dosa, add salt to taste, mix the batter and make dosas on a non stick pan.

Serve with Cutney of your choice.
