Serves 8
Ingredients:
  • 1¼ cup Raw Rice
  • 1 cup Cucumber, grated
  • ¾ cup Coconut, grated
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • 5½ tbsp Curd
  • 4 tbsp Ghee, melted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Water

    For Churna
  • ¼ cup Gud (jaggery), grated
  • 5½ cups Coconut, grated
  • 1 tsp Green Cardamom powder
How to make Tousali:
  • Soak the raw rice for a period of about 4 hours, in a bowl containing lukewarm water.
  • Drain the water and wash the rice with fresh water. Next, grind the rice, along with the coconut, to get a smooth even paste.
  • To the paste, add the grated cucumber, salt, curd and sugar and mix properly.
  • Check for the consistency of the paste. If you find it too thick, you can add a little water to adjust the thickness.
  • Set the bowl aside for a period of about 4 hours.
  • On medium flame, heat a non-stick tava and lightly grease it with ghee.
  • Using a ladle, pour some batter over the hot tava and spread it evenly, to get a 3 to 4 mm thick dosa.
  • Cover the dosa with a lid and cook one side over a slow flame, till the base becomes crisp and golden brown in color.
  • Remove the tousali from the tava and continue the process for the remaining batter.
  • For the churna, melt the gud in a saucepan and add in the green cardamom and grated coconut. Mix well.
  • Once done, remove it from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for some time.
  • Serve the tousali hot, with the churna.
