ORU SADA2-ONE ORDINARY DOSAI Dear friends,
This is the second part of theposting under Dosai. Sincerely, GopalaKrishnan 16-8-2010. Reposted on 25-12-2020 after editing and updating. R. Gopala krishnan Continued from part1 5. Adai dosai Adai dosai is available inrestaurants as well as made in the homes. Here batter is not ground more, bothblackgram and thoorgram batter also prepared and added with rice batter and redchilli is added while grinding. Other ingredients like ginger, curry leaves,etc. are added after preparation of batter. The final batter will have a light yellowcolour due to adding of red chilli. This actually is an emergencypreparation in homes. Some people fry both sides, some use non-stick ware andmake thin adai and fry one side. Hotels prepare as thick adai.Normally served with aviyal. In the display board they display as Adai- Aviyal.The batter is not fermented for adaithosai. Chutni too served along with inhotels. Sambar is least suited as side dish. 6. Set dosai The set dosai is the ordinary thickdosai made in our homes, but will have a slight yellow colour. I am not surewhether it is by the addition of small quantity of turmeric powder. However itis available in hotels normally. Aviyal as well as Vada Kari are served alongwith. Vadakari is liked by most. Set dosai is not freely availableitem in Kerala Hotels, but in Tamilnadu medium hotels it is available normallyin the afternoon. Once I was in a restaurant inChennai I had to wait for Vadai Kari being prepared to serve in an afternoon. Icould understand from the server the ingredients are also getting prepared. Iwas special to have set dosai vadakari- I like the taste of the dish vadakari. Vadakari is served limited and assuch chutni is also served with set dosai in addition. So far additional chutniand sambar is not charged by hotels!! 7. Puliya dosai (Not fermented dove dosai) Unless dove is not fermented thequantity too will be less. On fermenting the quantity too increase along withquantity. Puliya dosai is prepared as such with reluctance in the house. Withnon-stick ware Puliya dosai prepared taste good. Sometimes slight curd is addedto give the fermented taste. Puliyadosai is an excellent snack in the evening. 8. Mysore dosai Though called Mysore dosai, it isfreely available throughout Karnataka. I have consumed it in Bangalore. Though Mysorebonda is there in all hotels of Chennai, Mysore dosai is rare. Some udupihotels serve Mysore dosai. In Trivandrum also I have taken it from a smalludupi shop. Here a small quantity of red chillisammanthi is applied directly over our normal ghee roast while preparing. Thisitem is brownish. It is not given asside dish. Side dishes are chutni and sambar. While chutni is similar to whatis available in Chennai, sambar from Karnataka has special taste. It has sweettaste. The dosai is either supplied asplain roast or as Masalai roast. I amnot sure about the inner coating ingredients. Whether in Karnataka people makesuch dosai in houses is also not known to me. In Trivandrum I could get itserved with Vadakari also in a small udupi hotel. 9. Mini dosai Mini dosai is a special item servedin star hotels. It is served with meals also. The size of the dosai is so smallthat it is less than the size of our palm. Update- With the tiffin set newly introduced in hotels one small dosai is includedas an item. 10 Thattukadai dosai Thattukadai is wayside temporarystalls. Here dosai is the main item, other being chapathi and parota. Dosai isthicker, similar to home-made dosai and fried on both sides. Mainly forbachelors they serve best to have some food at late-night time. Normally theystart function after 8 PM. Being wayside they select a busybut better location to start the wheel restaurant. We cannot say the quality isvery good but good. Normally in Kerala they are run by people from Tamilnadu.In Tamlnadu too they appear in industrial and software areas. 11. Kuzhi paniyaram I LIKE kuzhipaniyaram nothing butmade of dosai/iddali mavu added with cut chillies and ginger, fried in oilpouring it in Appakkarai and taken out in time. In Chennai it is available inGrand snacks, A2B and Saravanabhavan restaurants. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
