Description
Cucumbers are used only for salads or just to munch for time pass at home. I have never ever cooked a dish with cucumbers so far. Came across a recipe that used cucumbers to make rotis. Grabbed the idea and tried this adai dosa version for the true blue South Indian I am. Not knowing what the texture of a cooked cucumber will result in, I eagerly waited for the first adai dosa to be cooked. The adai looked stunning with an eye popping splash of colors. The first tasting was done by my cook and myself together. Both of us had raised eyebrows and wide open eyes as it tasted divine, light and healthy with a crisp exterior, soft interior and the bite of cucumbers and onions were to die for. The perfect harmony of goodness and taste that’s mildly flavoured and quick to stir up. Made sure to high lighten the quick and healthy adai dosa by serving it with three chutneys. my cheats way just to impress my loved ones when in doubt about any new dish, serving it with many accomplishments. solving the mystery with in me of what to do if the dish will be a flop show. Sure this new avatar cucumber adai dosa will do full justice at all your home table’s as it did to mine.
