SimlaMirch(Capsicum) Polo(Dosa)

This recipe is something I tried yesterday and it came out really tasty. I had some batter left after making Patharvodo and was trying to do something with it. Usually I add cabbage(shredded) or any leaves like drumstick leaves or fenugreek leaves to make dosa. But I didnt have any of these and was feeling very lazy to go to the market. I had one capsicum and thought of giving it a try.

The batter is the same as we use for making PAtharvodo

Iddli rice - 1cup
Shredded coconut -1/2 cup
Red chillies - 2 0r 3
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Asoefetida-a pinch
Tamarind pulp - 1/2 tsp
salt to taste

Grind the above to make a smooth paste.

Chop the capsicum (may be 1/2 of capsicum should be fine) and mix it well in the batter. If the batter is too thick, add some water to get the consistency of dosa.






Heat the Tawa, apply few drops of Gingely oil and spread it evenly.Now make Dosas by spreading a ladle of batter at a time. This type of dosa will be thicker than plain dosa. You can eat it with Chutney or have it just like that without any curry too.
When you eat the Dosa you will taste the crunchy capsicum which makes it very tasty.
