Today's recipe for the Cooking Carnival is a dosa with colorful filling resembles  veggie sandwich . I got the idea of making this sandwich dosa after seeing our BM buddies shared some sandwich recipes without bread. So tried this dosa one day for evening snack for my son and he loved it.Immediately included this dosa in my list to share for this theme. I mashed the potatoes and used it here also used some grated panner.One can replace the paneer with cheese and make it a cheesey dosa.The addition of  mint chutney  gives a very nice taste and this dosa tastes good as such.No need of any extra side dish for this one.But I serve it with coconut chuney and some sweet and spicy sauce.Off to the recipe...........                                                                  ...

Today's recipe is Andhra special pesarratu upma.Pesarattu is a kind of crepe made with whole mung beans and a simple upma made with semolina is topped .It is served along with a spicy,tangy ginger chutney.Pesarattu with upma is a healthy and filling meal option. Originally the upma used to top the pesarattu is white in colr and no turmeric powder is added.I normally make the upma in yellow color,so I added.It is purely optional.                                                                                                                                                    ...

Coming to day 2 under the theme dosa with stuffing/filling in Cooking Carnival is green peas masala dosa. This dosa is popular in many restaurants or food joints in India.I had couple of times in restaurants in India and tastes awesome with coconut chutney and sambar. In the original recipe,soaked dried peas is cooked and added to the masala.Here I used the frozen green peas and added to the masala. I made the green peas masala with basic ingredients,if you want to make it rich ground cashew paste can be added.Off to the recipe..................                                                                                                                  ...

We are entering the 4th week fo Cooking Carnival in  Mega Blogging Marathon edition.For this week I am sharing the dosa recipes with stuffing/filling. For day 1 its one such, evergreen and classic recipe,Mysore Masala Dosa.Already I have shared a version of  masala dosa  here with the regular  dosa batter .But for  this version of  Mysore Masala Dosa,I prepared a separate dosa batter to get a nice golden color.I followed the recipe from Mrs.Mallika Badrinath's cook book with few alterations. Usually Mysore Masala dosa is on the thicker side and a spicy garlic chutney is applied on the dosa and filled with potato masala.As we prefer the crispy dosa,I made it slightly on the crisper side.Also butter can be used to cook the dosa.                                                        ...

For the final day of instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is mixed flour dosa.It can be called as multi grain dosa too.We call this dosa as karachamaavu dosa,as flour is mixed and made into dosa. Nowadays mixed grain or multi grain flour is available in market to make the work easier.But I don't get those mix here,so I make with the flours available and make dosa. Coming to the recipe I have used ragi,jowar and sorghum flour along with wheat,rice flour.One can modify the recipe according to the availability of the flours.Sometimes I add a cup of  fermented dosa batter ,along with the flours.Here I have used small quantity of  rice flour,but for a crispier version it can be increased.Let's move on to the recipe......                                                              ...
