After a month’s vacation in India I am back in UAE. Sorry I could not blog during my vacation due to hectic schedule there. Breadfruit is a homegrown vegetable at my mother’s place. She prepared breadfruit dosa once which was awesome in taste and I thought of blogging it first. The batter for this dosa is same as uppu huli dosa which I have already posted, we need to dip thin slices of breadfruit in the batter and arrange them in dosa form on the griddle that’s it. Let’s see the breadfruit dosa recipe now.

- Heat a dosa skillet and spread a tea spoon of oil using coconut coir. Dip thin slices of breadfruit in the batter. Arrange the coated breadfruit slices on the skillet in circular dosa fashion as shown in the picture below. Cover the skillet with lid and cook in low flame for 2 mins, then turn the dosa and let it cook for a min.

- Breadfruit dosa is ready to be served with butter or honey. It can also be consumed as is without any side dish.
Note:
- Make breadfruit slices as thin as possible. While arranging the batter coated slices you can start from the center and continue outwards too. The slices should touch each other and finally you can fill the gaps with batter.
