coconut dosa recipe | thengai dosa | kayi dosa with hotel style chutney with detailed photo and video recipe. one of the simple and unique dosa recipes made with a combination of rice and coconut grate. it is very similar to the popular south indian set dosa recipe but does not contain urad dal with just methi seeds for fermentation. it is an ideal lite morning breakfast recipe that takes only minutes to cook and can be served with any chutney or kurma.
well during my childhood days, there were hardly a few dosa variations in the offer. but if you look at it now, there are thousands of dosa variations that mainly revolve around its basic ingredients. as matter of fact, i have posted so many dosa variations which includes crisp, soft and cotton-like texture. in similar lines, coconut dosa is one such variation. the best part of this recipe is the softness which is achieved by natural fermentation. traditionally the fermentation is achieved by the rice and urad dal combination but in this recipe, the methi seeds place a key role. hence you should never skip the methi seeds for this recipe.
furthermore, i would also like to add some additional tips suggestions and variations to the thengai dosa. firstly, the batter is the key for this recipe and has to be of the correct consistency. it has to be watery but not like neer dosa and also not like traditional dosa batter. basically, it has to flow once it is poured on top dosa pan. secondly, i have not added any eno salt or baking soda for this recipe and i have strictly followed the natural fermentation. but if you want to skip it you can add eno salt or baking soda. lastly, if live in a dry or cold place you may not get the natural fermentation of dosa batter. you may have to place it in a warm place or you can also place it in preheated oven.
finally, i request you to check my other related dosa recipes collection with this post of coconut dosa recipe. it includes my other related recipes like aloo dosa, corn pancake, dosa batter, bread dosa, vegetable pancake, besan dosa, bun dosa, cabbage dosa, masala dosa, maida dosa. further to these i would also like to add some more additional recipe categories like,

How are you managing to ferment the batter considering there’s winter in Australia now?
If you are leaving in cold climate (winter time in Australia} ,you can ferment it by preheating the oven slightly(heat a little and turn off}.This helps to keep the batter warm and ferment well.I heat the oven every 2-3 hours as it helps to maintainthe temperature.Or you can also ferment the batter in instant pot.
Poha in ingredients is missing while grinding?
Yes poha is missing you have to add poha along with coconut and grind.
