Dear Dev!

Here is the recipe for chettinadu type chicken dosai. I am also posting two more recipes of ‘Chicken dosai’ for you!!

CHICKEN DOSAI-1:

Ingredients:

Shredded chicken- 3 cups
Ghee- 1 tbsp
Oil- 1 tbsp
Chopped cashed nuts- 1/4 cup
Fennel seeds- 1/2 sp
Black gram- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- half sp
Coarsely ground red chillies-1 tsp
Finely chopped onion-1
Finely chopped sambar onions-1 cup
Cinnamon powder- 1/4 tsp
Crushed tomato- half cup
Small garlic flakes- 1/4 cup
Ginger paste- half sp
Lime juice- 11/2 tsp
Curry leaves- a handful
Coarsely ground pepper-3 tsp
Coarsely ground fennel powder- 1 tsp
Shredded chicken-750 gms
Salt to taste
Enough dosai batter and gingelly oil
Butter- 1 tbsp

Procedure:

Heat a big pan and pour the oil and the ghee. Add the black gram and when they start to splutter, add the fennel seeds, and the cashew nuts with the curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds. Then add the onions, garlic flakes and the ginger and fry them finely to golden brown. Then add the tomatoes with the turmeric powder and fry them until they are mashed well. Add the chicken, lime juice, red chillies and the cinnamon with little water and enough salt and cook them finely on medium fire. Lastly Sprinkle the pepper and fennel powder and cook until all the water in the chicken is evaporated. Add the butter, mix well and cook for a minute
When making dosa, spread the batter on the hot dosaikkal and pour either gingelly oil or butter around it. When it is cooked on one side to golden brown, flip it to the other side. Spread the chicken masala thinly on half of the dosai. Flip the other half and cover the chicken and press the dosai slightly. Spread a little more oil around the dosai. Now the delicious chicken dosai is ready!!!

This is my innovative version on ‘ chicken dosai ’. This will be more delicious with less spices than the previous one.

CHICKEN DOSAI-2:

Ingredients:

Finely shredded chicken-3 cups
Finely chopped sambar onions-3 cups
Finely chopped coriander-half cup
Finely chopped mint leaves-2 tbsp
Curry leaves- 1 arc
Salt to taste
Oil-3 tbsp
Tomato thokku- 1/2 cup
Butter- 1/2 cup
Turmeric powder- half sp
Enough Dosai batter and gingelly oil.

Grind the following to a fine paste:

Red chillies-4, cinnamon-1” piece, small garlic flakes-6, ginger- 1 tsp and fennel seeds- 1 tsp

Procedure:

Mix the butter and the tomato thokku well.
Heat a pan and pour the oil. Add the onions and fry with the curry leaves to golden brown. Then add the ground paste with the chicken, turmeric powder and salt. Cook the chicken on medium fire until all the water is evaporated and the chicken is well cooked. Lastly add the greens and cook for a second.
When making dosa, spread the batter on the hot dosaikkal and pour either gingelly oil or butter around it. When it is cooked on one side to golden brown, flip it to the other side. Spread a thin layer of thokku butter mixture. Then spread thinly and evenly the chicken mixture on half of the dosai. Flip the other half and cover the chicken and press the dosai slightly. Pour a little oil around the dosai. Now the chicken dosai is ready.

CHICKEN DOSAI-3:

Finely shredded chicken- 200 gms
Plain flour-1 cup
Dosai batter- 1 cup
Oil- 1 tbsp
Green chilli paste- 1 tsp
Ginger paste- 1 tsp
Garlic paste-1 tsp

Chopped coriander- 2 tbsp
Finely shred carrot [optional]-2 tbsp

Procedure:

Heat a pan and pour the oil. Add all the pastes and fry them on slow fire for a few seconds. Add the chicken with salt and fry until it is well cooked. When it is cooled add this to the dosai batter along with the flour, coriander and the carrot. Mix well and keep it covered for an hour. Then spread the batter as a small ooththappam on a hot dosaikkal and cook dosai as usual on both sides.

Dear Mrs.Mano, thanks a lot for posting 3 varieties of chicken dosai... The dosai I had was some semi-dry chicken masala mixed with egg &spread on one side of the dosai add cooked ... just like egg dosai but with chicken-egg mix... I'll try chicken dosai 1 mixed with egg... recipe 2 looks more interesting with a tangy base...

Thanks again for the recipes...

Dear sinrultz!

In restaurants tandoori or oven baked fish kebabs are called 'Fish Tikka'. Steamed Fish with spices and mashed potato or breadcrumbs is shaped like patties or cutlets and deep fried in oil. They are also called as 'Fish Tikka'! Do tell me which type do you want to be posted.

Dear mrs mano,
thank u for the second variety of paal vazhakaai...:-)
Will surely try it & give u the feed back.

Thank u nga for yr kind New Year Wishes!!!
I too take this to Wish You & all your Family a Very Happy New Year!!! May 2010 bring in more smiles & joy to your hearts!
