Raw rice                               : 2 cups

Beet root                              : 1/2

Green chilli                          : 1

Cumin seeds                        : a pinch

Idli/dosa batter                    : 1 ladle (optional)

Oil as needed

Soak the raw rice for one hour.

Peel the skin of the beetroot, wash it and cut it  roughly. Boil the beetroot pieces for 5 minute. Then drain it and keep aside.

Drain the rice and grind it coarsely. Now add the boiled beetroot pieces, green chill and cumin seeds to this and grind again to a smooth paste. Add required amount of water to make a consistency of a dosa batter. Add one ladle of idli/dosa batter to this, this is optional, it  will make the dosa softer.

Add salt and mix well. 

 

Heat a dosa tawa and pour one ladle of dosa batter in the middle of the tawa and spread it evenly to make a round shape. Drizzle half teaspoon of oil  over it and when it cooked on one side flip it over to cook the other side.  When it is crispy remove from fire and repeat the process with the rest of the batter. 

Serve it hot with coconut chutney!
