Karnataka Style Heerekai Dosa Recipe-Ridge Gourd Dosa Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Karnataka Style Heerekai Dosa Recipe soak the rice along with chana dal, green gram and fenugreek seeds with enough water for about 8 hours

Step 2: Grind the soaked rice and lentils along with coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chillies, turmeric powder, fresh coconut, jaggery, tamarind and salt

Step 3: Grind into a smooth batter

Step 4: Do not keep the batter too runny or too thick

Step 5: Add it to a large bowl and keep it ready

Step 6: Heat a dosa tawa, dip the ridge gourd in the dosa batter just like Bajji and place one in the center and place more ridge gourd rounds dipped in batter around the center next to each other to form a flower-like pattern on a moderately hot tava that has been seasoned with oil

Step 7: Fill the gaps with little batter, drizzle some oil, cover and cook the dosa on a low to medium flame

Step 8: Cook a little extra since you need the vegetable to cook through

Step 9: Now gently flip the dosa and cook on the other side

Step 10: Do the same for the rest of the ridge gourd pieces

Step 11: Serve the Karnataka Style Heerekai Dosa Recipe along with Peerkangai Thogayal  or Tomato Onion Chutney
