DHODDAK

(FINE RAVA PANCAKES WITH ONION & TOMATO)

My M-inlaw prepares this for breakfast and I keep eating it for lunch, for tea, and for dinner. This is my fav dish. It should be eaten with chutney powder and lots of fresh butter.

 Ingredients

Fine rava/sooji or Bombay rava nearly 3 cups

Onion 2 big chopped finely

Tomato 2 medium sized chopped finely

Green chillies 5 slit lengthwise and chopped

Coconut ¾ cup grated

Cooked rice ½ cup for softness

Dhania leaves chopped (optional)

Oil

Salt to taste

Butter as needed

Preparation

Prepare a thick mixture of rava, onion, tomato, green chilli, coconut, rice, salt and water as needed. Keep aside for ½ hr.

Heat a tava, take a palm full of this mixture and place it in center of tava, flatten it as thin as possible by dipping hand in water into a circular shape.

Leave oil on sides of dhoddak and cover it for 2 min on medium flame. Turn it on other side and fry for 2 min.

Serve immediately with lots of fresh butter.
