Buckets of snow , and now a little rain. Still baby it's cold outside.

While all over the state which are used to snow, this year it's been a little more snow that what everyone is used to , I was pleasantly surprised since yesterday night to find the ran droplets pattering down the window panes.

I had to stay in today as my son is not well , the silver lining is I can watch the rain. At work , I have walls around me and absolutely no clue what weather holds outside except when I enter and I leave. It's a welcome change to watch out of the glass windows and NOT looking at snow :)

Now it's not that I hate snow. I mean I don't love it so it doesn't mean I hate it. I did hate the black ice when my car got totaled on account of skidding over it. Like a rotating cup on a fair ride, it circled and boom hit somewhere which fortunately stopped the ride.  I just don't like to be in it , stuck , driving on it , that I hate. Otherwise simply gazing upon the white glittery snow from the comfort of home , well now that I like too much. If only I never have to go out in it, till spring.

If only. Sigh.

Till then , I will enjoy the chancy rain droplets when they come by and when they don't and snow visits, I will try everything in my power to just stay in closed walls :-D

Why? Cause baby it's cold outside!
Yeah, my snow favorite song.

Instant Rava dosa recipe saved me this morning

Yes, so today,
7 AM wake up
7.30 AM wake up son
7:31 till 8:00 AM while getting breakfast and all other packing etc
Will you have this for lunch.
No.
Okay, this then.
No,
Okay this?
Nooo!
Alright, how about this ?
Noooooo!!
8:01 AM Panic!


My son kept on saying no to every option of lunch I offered for his lunch box. I was very much done and had given up on coming with anything he would finish. Another day for him to just eat half and bring back rest.


Then I gave a try searching for an instant rava dosa recipes. I literally had 15-20 mins to get everything done and leave for office. I devoted 2-3 minutes browsing for the recipes. And I stumbled across this easiest, tastiest and TRUST ME very nicely instructed recipe.

I could not find the name though. The blog is above one. Also as I had absolutely no time this morning and got these dosas done just in the nick of the time. Also my son cleaned up the lunchbox so no leftover too :)

So, I could not take my own dosa photographs but they turned out pretty much like these snaps.

It's not my picture, just borrowed from the above website courtesy and copyright both - udupi-recipe.com

She has given very good details , videos of actual process of putting the dosa on the griddle, please visit.


I made a slight variation for


- Having that super mom time race
- A little taste for sour
- Slight thickness




So here are my used ingredients along with variation and a smaller quantity. I used the same proportion though as she mentioned. Rava/Suji : Rice flour : maida as 1:1:0.5.




4 spoons Rava (regular stainless spoons which about equals 1 and half tsp)
4 spoons Rice flour
2 spoons maida
1 spoon Dahi/yogurt (I used 0% fat, you can use any)
3-4 drops of lemon
1 cup water (A little over might be needed too)
A few curry leaves crushed and
A few coriander leaves cut.


I was in a hurry so did not follow the instructions of slowly adding water and then mix, but I had small quantity so when I beat it all together with very small amount of water first, made a paste and then added more water directly and beat again, it worked out.


So if you are in hurry you can live with this faster mixing. Will try sometime with more quantities as well.


And once mixed up, I used two griddles. The gravy really thickens fast so , sooner you make dosas out of it the better. Even with this less quantity I was able to make medium sized 5 dosas. Alternate in 2-3 turns I was done.


Awesome or what! The feeling of your kiddo has wiped off his lunch box and boasting about it is just great. He tried controlling smiling and slowly brought the lunch box to me and said , check for yourself mamma without shaking the box if I finished it all.


And he did. He didn't show this much appreciation for the traditional dosas too ever.


So , That recipe blog above just made my morning and my evening.


Now off to another super mom race. Dinner!


See you again to share another experience.
