Dosai with Bottle gourd ?? sounds crazy isn't it? Well, its rich in fibre, low in saturated fat and cholesterol! these are the 3 things which pave way to good health and weight loss. Then, why not include in all possible ways. Though we normally use this in curries and gravies… including in dosai was pretty daunting to me. But my aunt from whom I learned this recipe guaranteed good results and it did.

Brown rice is simple white rice with bran intact and is a good source of fiber. It has got strong nutty flavour with chewy texture, which ofcourse, is not that pleasing to our taste buds and one of the main reason for getting neglected. Happened to read some interesting facts about his great grain and could not resist buying a bag for my pantry. Tried the long grain cooked brown rice, little yuck…
takes quite a long time to cook in a regular rice cooker.
Thin crispy rice crepes made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils mixed together, very ideal for breakfast or even tiffin.
