Magge Polo (Mangalore Dosa)

Magge Polo (Mangalore Dosa)

Magge Polo is a Mangalore Special Dosa Variety which is prepared with Magge / Field Marrow. 'Magge' means  Field Marrow or Madras Cucumber and 'Polo' means Dosa. This recipe is basically from Konkani Cousine. Dosa will be soft, fluffy, with a field marrow flavour. Perfect for breakfast / tiffin time.

This can be prepared with mild sweet by adding jaggery which is called as 'Gudde Polo' but today I'm sharing a savoury version.

Ingredients:

Raw rice - 2 cups

Field marrow / Madras Cucumber - 2 cups

Beaten rice flakes / Poha - 1/2 cup

Grated coconut - 1/2 cup

Salt - 1.5 tsp

Oil - to make dosa

Method:

# Wash and soak rice for 2-3 hrs.

# Wash poha / rice flakes, squizze extra water and rest for 15 minutes.

# Grind rice by adding little water to smooth paste.

# Grind poha, chopped field marrow, grated coconut to a smooth paste.

# Mix rice paste and field marrow paste with salt.

# Let it ferment for 7-8 hrs.

# Heat a tawa, apply some oil. Pour a laddle of batter. Do not spread like normal dosa. Add few drops of oil on sides. Close with a lid. Let it cook on medium flame for 2 minutes. Don't flip. 

Remove from tawa and serve with coconut chutney / benne(butter) / sambar.
