Instant Bulgur Rava Idli

 




Nutrition Powered Oats Dosa has been prepared using oats and cornmeal

Cucumber has also been proven good for fighting diabetes since it contains a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin. So re-posting my previous post.

Gooseberry contains chromium. It has a therapeutic value in diabetics. Indian Gooseberry or Amla stimulate the isolated group of cells that secrete the hormone insulin. Thus it reduces blood sugar in diabetic patient. Just now read this in Illatharasi's roundup of AFAM - Gooseberry. So reposting my previous post

This post of course contains sugar in the original recipe. But then I have mentioned at the end of the post an alternative for the diabetic patients also.

Omelet Dosa

Omelet dosa is my husband's favourite item. Infact he is the one who tought me how to make it. Very Easy, tasty and quick. So here goes the recipe ...

Omelet Dosa

Ingredients :
Dosa Maavu(Aatta) - 1 cup
Egg - 1
Salt and Black Pepper Powder - to taste

Method
Heat a non-stick pan. Beat the egg a little and keep it aside. Pour the Dosa batter and spread so as not to make very thin dosa. And then before the dosa gets cooked too much pour the beaten egg over the dosa and spread it. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Keep the dosa pan covered till the Omelet Dosa gets cooked. Turn it on the other side if needed. Serve it hot with chutney.

Simple isn't it.
