Moong daal dosa(Pesarattu) - 2

First time I ate this when I was in Sydney. We were invited to Ganesh Chaturthi by one of our friend. All of us took some or the other dish. One lady, I forgot her name, had brought this. I asked her the recipe, as I always do. But had forgotten the masala she had put. So I used to make it with any masala I had at home. Recently I saw this recipe again on TV. Now I know about the masala also!!!.

Ingredients: Rice 1 cup Methi leaves 1 cup Potato 1 Lemon juice 1 tbl spn Ghee 1 tea spn Cumin seeds ½ tea spn Coriander seeds 1 tea spn Toor daal 1 tea spn Cloves (Lavang) 4-5 Red chillies 2-3 Salt

Method: Cook rice such that grainis should be separate. Dry roast coriander seeds, Toor daal, cloves and red chillies. Make powder. Heat ghee and add cumin seeds. When they start spluttering, add methi leaves and salt. Fry for 2-3 minutes. Add boiled potatoes(roughly mash potatoes with hand while adding). Add ground masala, rice, lemon juice and salt. Mix well and serve hot.
