A delicious recipe, the DOSA is from my Mother-in-Law's recipe treasure box.
Tomato chutney was one of my favorites when we used to travel from Coimbatore (India) to Delhi by train for 3 days. It used to be a long trip and my mom used to pack all the food for 3 days that’s why I have named it as “Travel tomato chutney”. This Tomato Delicousy was my all time favorites as it can be eaten with Idly, dosa, puri, chapatti or rice. The chutney will stay without refrigeration for about 3 to 4 days depending on the way it’s prepared.
Even in US when we take long road trips I carry this chutney with me for idlis and puris.
We all prefer home cooked food better than anything.

Ingredients for Dosa
2 medium sized ridge gourd (beerakaya)
3 cups Idly rice (soaked overnight)
(Raw rice can be used but gives a dry finish to the dosa if prepared immediately)
Green chillis
Curry leaves
Fresh cilantro(hari dhania)
Salt
Preparation
Grind all the ingredients together to prepare a dosa batter and that’s it, n’joy
Ingredients for Travel tomato
3 cups pureed tomatoes (I used the canned ones, makes job easy)
1tsp mustard seeds
1/3 tsp fenugreek
1/2tsp cumin
1/2tsp Turmeric
a pinch of Asfoetida
chilli powder and salt as per requirement
1tsp of sugar (optional)
3 tbsp oil
Preparation
In a frying pan heat oil and add mustard, cumin, fenugreek and let it splutter. Then add asfoetida, the tomato puree, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Mix them well and simmer the gas to medium. The moisture content in the puree should dry up and the oil should appear in between the puree, which means its ready.
It’s that simple!!

Hi Sharmi,
Ridge gourd dosa is new to me..No need for fermentation?? Thanks for sharing.
hey Sharmi,
This dosa isd new to me will surely try them.Looks so nice...And those tomato chutney at the side goes very well i think.Thanks for sharing
Wow!! Looks absolutely yumm =) I'm not too fond of eating Peerkangai as such, although I've wanted to include this in my cooking. May be this way it'll probably add a nice taste to the dosa batter!! Thank you for all the lovely recipes.
On another note, where are you from Sharmi?
It's new to me too. Beerakaya dosa. I once tried payasam with it and it was very good. Will try this dosa too. I'm bored of making the usual pachadi and kootu.
Hi Sharmi,
I follow your posts closely. This beerakaya recipe is very interesting. I have a quick question. Will this dosa be bitter? I see that you have not skinned the beerakaya. Doesnt the skin give a bitter taste?
Hi Anamika, no the Dosa is not bitter due to skin of beerakaya.
Yet another question! Does this work without fermentation?
yes Anamika, it works without fermentation!!
Gre8...Thanks for the Beerakaya Dosa Recipe.. Explaind very well..
recipe is awesome.
Hah! Good one. I am not a big fan of ridge gourd and this I can like to love... wiataminute, what did I just say?! Like to love! lol!
Jokes apart, I'd love to include this in my dosa list, good for me and S!
nice n colorful dosa..
