Ingredients:
Rice – 2 cups
Fresh coconut grating– ¾ cup
Salt – 1 tsp
Method:
Soak the rice for 4-6 hours. Grind it with some water till it is smooth. Add the coconut gratings and salt and grind to a paste. Add more water if required. No need for fermentation. The consistency is thinner than the regular dosa batter…so use a small cup to pour the batter in a circle on a heated and oil smeared pan/tava. Don’t roast this dosa…it tastes good when it is soft.
Note: if the dosa becomes too soft to lift off the tava, don’t fret! Just make a paste of rice flour with water and add it to the batter till you hit the right consistency.
These dosas are yummy with coconut taste and a spicy coconut chutney on the side.

Eggplant/Brinjal Chutney
The eggplant used for this is the dark purple Indian eggplant which is oval in shape. Normally the ones we find in the Indian stores are real small, but I try to pick the biggest of the lot!
Ingredients:
Fresh grated coconut – 1 cup
Roasted green chillies – 3-5
Tamarind- a tiny bit
Salt to taste
Roasted Eggplants – 2 medium sz
Method:
The eggplants need to be put directly on the gas stove (if you have one) till the skin is charred and when poked with a finger you feel that it is soft and cooked. If you don’t have a gas stove you can put it under the broiler and keep turning it now and then till it is uniformly done. Peel the skin and slit open the eggplant/brinjal. Then chop it up into tiny bits or squeeze with your fingers.
Grind the top 4 ingredients into a smooth paste with some water. Add the eggplant and pulse together everything. Don’t make it a smooth paste…it is good to have a little texture. Season with a little oil, crushed garlic/ a pinch of hing, mustard, red chillies and curry leaves. Serve as a side with Dosa/Rice/Kadabus.
