    mudakathan keerai dosai recipe

    Mudakathan keerai dosai recipe with step by step pictures. If you are looking for an easy and healthy dosa recipes then this mudakathan keerai dosai is for you. I unashamedly follow the shortcut method and it does not need any soaking of rice and dal.

    Why unashamedly??? Well I’m definitely not lazy or something to grind for the dosa from scratch as that’s how it is usually made.

    But since I already grind 2-3 batches of idli-dosa batter a week, I did not want to bother myself to grind a separate batch to make this mudakathan keerai dosai.

    Moreover, when the health aspects of the greens and the taste of the dosa does not change much in any way when done by this method, Why Not???

    mudakathan keerai dosai

    Mudakathan keerai is known as Balloon Vine leaves in English. It’s got an earthy smell and it grew abundantly like there’s no tomorrow in my Grandma’s garden and Ma’s terrace garden and now in my MIL’s garden.

    So they both kept making  this mudakathan keerai dosai along with other recipes using this keerai. Though there is nothing wrong with their preparation or cooking, I never warmed up to this dosa right from the start which was bone of contention between myself and my Amma.

    Several years ago when we all visited my In-Laws place, she made this mudakathan keerai dosai for breakfast and I still remember the horrified look that my younger one gave me which literally translated to,

    “Since when did Dosa started looking green”, Is it even supposed to look like that?

    I vowed myself after I had my children that I would never force them to eat anything that they do not like no matter how much ever healthy it is and I still follow that religiously. The more you force, the more they end up hating it what I believe.

    The only exception to that rule is when they fall sick and I have to force down the  food and pills down their throat whether they like it or not.

    Earlier I never  used to get this mudakathan keerai at any shops but nowadays we get them in almost all the vegetable shops in small covers that is just perfect to make 8-10 dosas either for breakfast or dinner.

    So I thought I would try my hand once again to make this dosa which is not only liked by children but also by me.

    When I asked the kids what they did not like about the dosa, their reply was that they did not like the raw, earthy smell of the Dosa which is how a mudakathan keerai dosai smells like when made the authentic way.

    So if you are looking for an authentic version of the Mudakathan keerai dosai, this is definitely not the one but this is a quicker and easier one with no compromise in taste while still maintaining the health aspects of the mudakathan keerai.

    Now this mudakathan keerai dosai has become a regular at home and my kids have come to love this green dosa and they eat it quite happily without me having to forcing the quote on them on how “it is very healthy for you”.
