Every week, while I plan my weekly menu, the one question that arises is what do I make for dinner. It is easy to plan out my breakfast menus as Idlis, dosas, cereal, or Oatmeal are our go-to ones on weekdays. Though we have a routine of soups, phulkas for dinner, the kids get bored with them sometimes. I also want them to try out other options while still sneak peeking some of the nutrition. one such find is this puli dosa which can be had plain as well as topped with grated vegetables. This Puli Dosa / Tamarind dosa is tangy, spicy, and can be had with chutneys, or podis.

Instructions
- Measure one cup of raw rice and half a cup of toor dal to a bowl. Pour water to the rice- dal mixture. Soak them for 6 hours. Wash and add the rice - dal to a mixer jar.
- Add red chillis, curry leaves, grated coconut, jeera seeds, and tamarind to the mixer jar. Grind them to a fine batter.
- Transfer the grounded batter to a bowl and add salt to taste and asafoetida powder.
- Heat a dosa pan and pour a laddle of dosa batter in a circular way. Drizzle sesame oil over the dosa and let it cook for 1 minute.
- Flip over the other side and cook for about a minute. Once done, transfer the dosa to a plate and serve with accompaniments of your choice.
Notes
- I have used raw rice for this recipe, you can also replace it with small millets of any kind.
- If you wish to add onions or grated vegetables, you can add it too.
