Tavshya Bhakri (Cucumber Dosa)..

I wanted to make something and send for Suganya's Weekend Breakfast Blogging-Healthy Eats..Ya, took so much time to think what to make as a healthy breakfast, coz I hardly make anything. Breakfast on most days is just bread or cereal. I can't take in cereal also, so that leaves me with only bread. But back home, breakfast is a big deal(which should be). All homes usually have heavy breakfast. I see my mom spending a whole lot of time getting the breakfast ready and ofcourse yummy yummy ones. No particular item will be repeated in a week or even 2 weeks. Ok, lets go to the dish now.

So, this one in particular is one of my favourites and is called Tavshya Bhakri which means Cucumber Dosa. This is a very common item am sure in all Konkani homes. The same dosa can be made also by replacing Cucumber with Magge(Dosakai). Simple, tasty and nutritious. What more can one ask for, rite?..

Ingredients..

Fine Rava/Semolina/Suji Rava - 1 cup

Peeled and Grated Cucumber - 1 cup

Coconut - 1/2 cup

Sugar - 1 tsp

Salt - to taste

Oil - to fry

Method

- Mix the grated cucumber, sugar, coconut, rava and salt together. Add about 1/4 cup water or less to make a thick but spreadable mixture (mixture should not be runny or watery).

- Heat a heavy tawa, apply little oil all over, add little of the above mixture and spread it to make a thick round Bhakri(dosa). Drizzle oil on sides and on top of the bhakri.

- Then, flip the bhakri and fry on other side till done.

- Serve hot with chutney or chutney powder.

This bhakri tastes best when hot. It is one of the most softest and meltable bhakris inspite of its thick look. So, thinking that this is a good and healthy breakfast, goes to Suganya's wonderful event..
