This postal service was originally non intended for Fiesta Friday but later reading this week's co-host Sylvia @ Superfoodista.com, I am going to accept this dosa/pancake to Fiesta Friday!.This volition spread the message of gluten-free eating options that has been e'er available..
Mushti polo literally translates into "fist dosa" inwards English. "Mushti" way fist as well as "polo" way dosa. Why? I don't know? May last because they used their fists for measuring? According to my mother, they seat the batter inwards the oculus of the griddle/skillet similar a fist as well as allow it spread. I, of course, spread it a footling every bit I don't desire it likewise thick!
Anyways, Mushti polo is a mutual dosa/ pancake made inwards Gowda Saraswat Brahmin households of South Canara portion of India. It is a soft, fluffy as well as lite dosa that melts inwards your mouth. There are a few variations inwards the batter alongside only about using grated kokosnoot inwards it as well as close using cooking soda ( soda bicarbonate) for fermentation. My woman nurture never used soda bicarbonate inwards whatsoever of her cooking every bit she e'er believed that the purpose of it would effort bloating. I receive got learnt from her as well as I likewise avoid soda bicarbonate inwards my cooking ( except for cakes as well as breads). So hither is my recipe for "Mushti polo":
Servings: 6-8

Urad dal: 1 fistful
Methi seeds( fenugreek seeds): 1 tbsp
