Foxtail milltet rava dosa

It was another working day morning when I dint have anything ready for making breakfast. All I could do was soaking this and that previous night to grind it the next morning, make batter and spread dosas. I was quite positive about the results and yes it was up to my expectations.
I had bought organic foxtail millet rava and made upma with that the other day, it was just good enough so thought of trying dosas with the same. Hence this creation and following is the recipe.

Ingredients
Foxtail millet rava - 1 cup
Urad dal  - 1/2 cup
Med thick brown poha- 1/2 cup

Method
Wash and soak the dal and poha together for 5-6 hours or over night.
Soak the rava separately for 5-6 hours or over night.
After soaking  grind the dal and poha together and rava separately and then mix well.
Add sufficient amount of water to get the consistency of dosa batter. This batter does not need fermentation.
Once the batter is ready, heat the tawa and spread dosas as usual.
Best served with coconut chutney or any side dish of you choice. 
Enjoy!

Brown beaten rice chocolate squares

Was thinking of making some snack for the kids to take to school  and  that day I dint have anything  to pack for them. No, I usually don't stock store bought snacks and my thought went this way while spreading my dosas :)..it was to temper some chocolate and roast some organic brown beaten rice and add to it and make poha rocks .. :) nice na..

Ok .. I need to confess that I don't have an exact measurement of the ingredients of this recipe, reason b'coz I was in a jiffy and I ran out of time to pick up my cups and spoons.

What you need
 1) A bar of cooking chocolate
 2) Some organic brown beaten rice (poha)

Method
Heat a wok and dry roast the poha till it crisp.
Meanwhile temper the chocolate using a double boiler. 

Tempering is melting finely chopped cooking chocolate using double boiler
Double boiling is cooking using the steam. Finely chop the chocolate in a vessel. Keep it over a bowl of boiling water. Also make sure the steam doesn't enter the chocolate and also the water should boil in the minimum flame possible

Once the chocolate is melted mix the dry roasted poha into it and mix well. Spread the mixture on a butter paper and spread evenly and refrigerate for 7-9 mins. Its advisable not to refrigerate for long time, because the chocolate starts condensing. You can even leave it at room temperature to set and then cut in squares and store in an airtight container

Note: You can deep fry the poha instead of dry roasting.
