Peanut DosasBeing a dosa lover, I always find ways to improve the taste and looks of my dosas intake more interestingly. My hubby used to tease me by saying that my mind is always on cooking and not in taking care of the family which is not true. Since young I always surrounded with food wherever I go. My MIL always make snack everyday as my FIL needs something different each day so I kind of adapt to that. Well my son had a crazy idea of adding blueberries to dosa batter which will never happened. My daughter used to eat dosa without any curries. Feeding my daughter is really a hectic job. I have being preparing different variety of dosas with came be eaten plain without as side-dish. My latest invasion was by adding some groundnut to the batter. Believe my daughter had 3 dosa instead of 1 which was really surprise to me. I guess peanut dosa will be around in my kitchen more frequently.
