Set Dosa / Mushti Polo

-
Set Dosa is also called Mushti Polo in Konkani which means fistful. It is very popular in Karnataka where 2 dosa's sometimes 3 are served which are little thicker and smaller than masala dosa thus the name set dosa. You can find this dosa anywhere, be it in restaurants or road side stalls. Set Dosa are soft and very fluffy in texture. Do try it at least once.

NOTE : 
  • The Vegetable Kurma goes very well with Set dosa. Click on Vegetable Kurma to get it's recipe.
  • Sambar is another side dish for Masala Dosa. Click here, Sambar / Kolmbo for it's recipe.
  • Use the soaking water while grinding for proper fermentation.
  • Adding salt to the batter will fasten the process of fermentation.
  • Mixing the batter with hands will also help for faster fermentation due to presence of bacteria in hand.
  • Set dosa is roasted only on one side.
  • Eat it when hot.
  • Keep the batter in the fridge if you are not making dosas immediately or if the batter is remaining so to use it the next day.
  • Chutney goes well with Set Dosa also.
  • 2 tbsp grated coconut can be added if needed.
  • Red/Boiled rice grains can be replaced by white rice grains.
  • Adding Beaten Rice / Poha  or cooke rice or puffed rice is optional. They make dosa softer.
  • You can add soda or Eno to fasten the process of fermentation.

Phenori / Sweet Satta

Image
Phenori also called as Sweet Satta is a sweet dish prepared during special occasions specially during Diwali. My mom always used to  prepare it during Diwali and we kids used to finish all within a week. Personally, I am not a sweet lover but I can't stop eating Phenori. They are so yum, crispy and tasty. The procedure to prepare it looks difficult but is really not so. Try preparing little at first so that you get an idea how it tastes or how much difficult it is. NOTE :  Sugar Syrup can be used instead of Sugar powder. Phenori should be fried properly else they will become soft. You can sprinkle chiroti rawa  or rice flour to make them crispy. Roll from center to the side. All the layers should be clearly visible. And avoid the centre from getting thin. The number of layers can be 3,5 or 7. The oil/ghee to fry should be medium hot and not too hot. Preparation Time : 30 Minutes Cooking Time : 5 Minutes Total Taken : 35 Minutes Ingredients: Ma
