Tofu chapathi

Yet another way to sneak tofu into your meal . The chapathi will be super soft. Unless and until you say it has tofu , no one will find it .
Ingredients :
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Tofu -1/4 box ( 1/4 of a 14 oz box ).
Water - as needed
Salt to taste

Method :
Knead the flour and toffu with the needed salt. 

Once it forms into a crumbly dough, add water if needed little by little.

Once the dough is kneaded, let them rest for an hour.

Now roll them out as regular chapathi .
Heat the griddle or tawa. Once hot add the chapathi and sizzle some oil. Cook them on both sides.
Soft protein packed chapathis can be served with any gravy !

Set dosai

This recipe was a slight modification from a tv show. This dosai also needs fermentation and it is absolutely soft and spongy. This is so famous in restaurants in Tamil Nadu . They say vada curry and set dosai pair up well. But even with veg kuruma we all liked it !

Ingredients :
To soak together :
Idly rice - 2 cups
Raw rice - 1 cup
Urid dhal - 1/3 cup
Sago - 1/4 cup
Toor dhal - 1 table spoon 
Chana dhal - 1table spoon

Soak separately :
Flatten rice / thick aval - 1/4 cup

Method :

Soak all the items under " to soak together" for 3 to 4 hours.

Just 20 minutes before grinding, soak the. Beaten rice separately .

Grind all together to a fine batter .
Add the needed salt and let it ferment like regular idly/dosa batter either overnight or 6 to 8 hours or until they are fermented .
Heat a griddle and make dosas that are neither too think like regular dosas not too thick like uthappam. It has to be smaller in size and little thinner version of uthappam . 

Once you see lot of holes after spreading , it means it's in right consistency !!

Sizzle some oil, cover and cook . 

Once done remove from flame .
 Don't flip and cook  on the other side.
