Today's brunch is Ridge Gourd Dosa or Heerekai Dose ( Ridge Gourd Savory Pancakes). It's a South Canara breakfast dish popular around Udupi. I personally like it as it combines the taste of Heerekai Bajjis and Dose! Who wouldn't want bajjis for breakfast? That's what adult life is all about. Ice cream for breakfast 😋
Some of the recipes ferment the batter overnight, they also call for only rice in the batter. Somehow I can't reconcile with eating just rice paste so I added split Pigeon Pea and Bengal Gram to the batter. I didn't ferment it or add any soda. I whisked the batter for a few minutes to aerate it. Next time I'll try fermenting it. Consistency should be slightly thicker than dosa batter, more like bajji batter.
Also.. peel of the Ridge Gourd can be saved to make chutney. My ajji made the best chutney. I didn't make the chutney with this dose coz it would be too much ridge gourd. Is it cannibalism to eat a veggie with its own chutney? 😳
