Welcome to Hyderabadi Ruchulu, where we explore the art of cooking! Today, we have a delightful recipe to share with you: Watermelon Dosa. While we often discard the white part of watermelon and enjoy only the red flesh, it's important to know that the white skin holds valuable nutrients that can greatly benefit our health.
To create this delectable dosa, we'll combine the white part of the watermelon with rice, excluding lentils. Not only does this dosa taste amazing, but it also provides a rich source of vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice

Begin by washing the rice, bengal gram, and fenugreek seeds.

If you prefer to minimize the watermelon flavor, remove the red pulp from the watermelon. Proceed to dice the white part of the watermelon.

In a mixing jar, add the soaked rice and bengal gram, along with the diced watermelon, ginger, and green chilies. Grind these ingredients into a smooth paste, adding water as needed.
-
Allow the batter to sit for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

Heat a pan and pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan.
-
Spread the batter evenly and cook on high flame.
-
If desired, you can add a drizzle of oil or ghee for extra flavor.
-
Cook the dosa until it turns golden brown, then flip it to cook the other side.
-
After flipping, cook for another minute until both sides are thoroughly cooked.
-
Finally, serve the hot watermelon dosa with your choice of chutney or pickle.
By embracing the white part of the watermelon, we can enjoy a unique and nutritious twist to our traditional dosa recipe. We hope you relish every bite of this flavorful dish. Happy cooking!
