Everyone love these Indian Crepes. Instead of making traditional white rice dosas, we can make Brown Rice Dosas. I tried these brown rice crepes from Brown Basmati Rice. You will need : Brown Basmati Rice / just Brown Rice -  3 cups  Urad Dal / Black Gram  - 1/2 cup Soak both the rice and the dal separately for 2 hours. Then grind them into a dosa batter consistency and add salt. Let it ferment for 5 to 6 hours . Make crispy crepes..

Hello Readers, Here comes my newly tried recipe "Banana Chapathis". Whenever there are left-over full ripe bananas, nobody likes to eat them, because of the black skin . In this case, I used to bake banana -nut muffins or banana bread. This time, I tried something which is very quick and easy to make . All you need  is Banana - 1 ripe Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup Butter - 1 tbsp softened (optional) Mash the banana in a bowl. Now add the flour and the butter to the mashed banana and make a dough. You won't need to add water for making the dough, if you are adding butter. But if you don't add butter, at this stage add water by spoon , if needed and make the dough. Now, roll them into chapathis and cook on both sides on the tawa. Just rub an oil dipped spoon on both sides of the chapathi and take it off the tawa (pan). Banana chapathis are ready to eat. Step by step pictures below... Kids will love this super soft chapathi / Paratha. The banana g...
