Ingredients

• raw rice - one and a half cup
• tender cucumber - 350 to 400 gm
• grated coconut - 1/2 cup
• oil to cook the dosas
• salt to taste

How to Make Thausali (Cucumber Dosa)

• Wash and soak the rice in water for 1-2 hours.
• Peel and grate the cucumber.
• Grind the rice with coconut to a smooth thick paste.
• It will become thinner when cucumber is added.
• So avoid adding much water while grinding the rice.
• Mix in grated cucumber and salt.
• The consistency of the batter should be like thin pouring cream.
• Add water if needed.
• Heat a non-stick fry pan and pour about 1/2 cup of batter on it and spread it with the back of a ladle or Katori to a disc of about 2 mm thick.
• Pour a tsp of oil all round it.
• When the underside is cooked, turn the dosa over and pour some more oil to cook the other side.
• Lift off the pan and serve hot with Chutney.
• Use all the batter thus.
• Variation: Sweet Thausalis may be prepared as above.
• Reduce the salt to a pinch and add 1/4 cup sugar or jaggery to the batter.
