Pumpkin Dosa/Kumbalakayi Dose/Raw Rice & Butternut Squash Savoury Crepe

Another happy Sunday is back!!

It feels like I cooked breakfast just few minutes ago and already it is lunchtime!! I wonder why we humans are designed to feed on 3 times a day (technically 3 but the count is much more in reality🙄). How I wish eating once a day was enough for a human! wow...such a dream! I washed a sink full of dishes and it is filling up fast again! Folded a basket full of clothes and there is another load waiting to be washed! Vacuumed the house two days ago and I can already see dust and lint everywhere...Working from home has certainly helped to keep up with the chores but these everyday jobs aren't as easy as I thought it would be few years ago....I was telling my mum how I felt and she agreed with me!! (exclamation is because I can't remember another thing that my mum and I mutually agree on). She said 'everyone has to do some jobs even if you don't want to do it sometimes. You still have to wake up, get ready and keep going. Even if you don't have to cook for others there will be a time in future, a day where you have to at least cook for yourself. So you better learn, it will help you one day!' Okay Amma I got it..not too soon but slowly I learned, I now cook for family, friends, colleagues, charity events, competitions and of course myself too. And I know you are proud of me even if you don't say it😄

Well...now that I can't really help but eat as many times as I feel hungry, I better click some pics and share the interesting recipes and stories along😊

Dosa is a staple south Indian breakfast. I have eaten dosa all my life. Literally. Eating the same dosa everyday never bothered me during childhood. But taste buds too change/grow up with time. They become insatiable, keep asking for more and just drive people crazy!

Here is one more easy recipe for all those who want to give a colourful makeover to our beloved dosa :-)

Ingredients:

For the dosa batter

1 cup finely chopped pumpkin

2 cups rice

1/2 cup urad dal

1 tsp fenugreek/methi seeds

2 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

Water as required

Method:

- Soak raw rice, urad dal and methi in 5 cups water for 5-6 hours

- Grind it with pumpkin - the batter should neither be too runny nor too thick

- Allow the batter to ferment overnight

- Add salt and sugar to the batter and give it a good mix.

- Heat the pan/tawa, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it using back side of the ladle in circular motion

- Cook for a minute and flip it with the help of a spatula. Cook the other side for another 20 seconds and serve hot with any curry/chutney/jam/syrup of your choice.

Cheers!
