Watermelon dosa or dosai recipe - i am a big fan of all varieties of dosa. This is a delicious dosa made with the batter of watermelon rind, raw rice and coconut. It is perfect for either breakfast or in the evening for after school snack. This is similar to cucumber dosa. I always add coconut to such dosa. It gives rich tate to the dosa. After making juice from the red portion of the watermelon, the remaining white portion is used to make dosa. If you are making dosa using watermelon rind, peel the skin and use the white part.

ReplyDeleteI had now clue that we can make dosa with watermelon rind. That is a innovation itself. Love the texture of the dosa and also the slight pinkishness it gets may be because of the melon. Love it & next time I buy a melon, I'm trying this. You have an authentic & nice blog, Vidya.
