Pumpkin Dosa/ Pusanikai Dosa
This recipe is one more to the addition of variety of dosas. Check the recipe index to see the collection of dosas.
Pusinikai dosa or Pumpkin dosa is very soft and has a lot of nutrition. I learned it from a cookery show long back and forgot about it. I make it regularly, so thought of posting it here.

Method :
- Chop the Onion and Capsicum into cube or square shape pieces.
- Heat Oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they crackle, add cumin seeds. as they turn golden brown, saute the chopped onions. Add salt .
- Add capsicum and fry it until it is not but not mushy.
- Grind the items under 'To Grind' list to a smooth paste.
- Add this ground paste to the capsicum . add some water if required. Let it boil for a few minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with rotis or rice variety .
My Notes
- If you don't have coriander powder, just replace with dry roasted coriander seeds.
- Adding Sesame seeds is optional, but I adding them as it gives a better taste to the dish.
- Also we can dry roast peanuts, sesame seeds and coriander seeds each separately and then grind them together.
- We have to take care that capsicum doesn't get mushier. It needs to be crunchy.
