Masala Dosa

Masala dosa is an Indian cuisine which originated from udupi cuisine although the exact origin of masala dosa is still unknown .A slight variation of masala dosa is Mysori masala dosa and I am pretty much sure that you will enjoy it. I am going to give you the step by step pics of the preparation of this dish.

Mysore masala dosa is a thin and crispy pancake prepared with fermented dosa batter topped with potato masala/spice and red garlic chutney.This is Mysore masala dosa which is same as the famous masala dosa the main difference between Mysore masala dosa and masala dosa is the red garlic chutney spread which is the topping of the Mysori masala dosa.

Mysore Masala Dosa
Mysore Masala Dosa

For making the urad daal and rice soft I have a mixer and grinder which have a preset option of masala dosa I have skipped the step of soaking but if you have a normal blender or grinder you have to soak the rice and urad daal for a minimum of 4-5 hours because soaking helps to soften the daal and rice which eventually helps while grounding it. Before proceeding further I am giving you some important tips for the preparation of crisp and perfect mysore masala dosa.So here we go firstly I added some poha/flat rice/flake rice(flattened into flat dry flakes. you can purchase it from the market) While grounding the dosa batter to make it crisp but it is optional but I recommend it.Secondly once the batter is grounded you can add 1-2 teaspoon of Bombay rava or semolina/suji to the dosa batter this turns the dosa more crisp.Last but not the least is that when the top of the dosa gets slightly cooked apply the red chutney else the batter might turn messy.

Russian Salad

Russian salad also known as Olivier salad was invented in 18th century by Lucien Olivier.Over the course of centuries it was widely recreated throughout Europe and different regions of Eastern Europe have developed their own variations of this salad.Only some core ingredients are now common in all kinds of Russian salads.These ingredients are carrots, potatoes, eggs, pickles, onions , peas and mayonnaise.

Russian Potato Salad
Russian Potato Salad

Ingredients And Their Quantities

Boil 3 medium size yellow potatoes and chop them.

Boil 3 medium sized carrots and chop them.

Boil and chop 6 eggs.

3 medium size pickles in brine, peeled and chopped.

1/2 sweet onion large or 1 if small chopped

15 oz can peas,rinsed

1 cup of mayonnaise

1 tbsp Dijon mustard or any other mustard you preferred.

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

The Preparation of Russian salad needs some time and there are some cooking steps involved in the preparation of this salad because the eggs and vegetables should be cooked and cooled off before they are chopped.

The steps involved in the preparation of this salad are as under.

Step 1

Place the eggs in a pot containing cold water.Boil the eggs for 10 minutes and let them cool before peeling.

Step 2

Place the unpeeled potatoes and carrots in a pot of water and add a tablespoon of slat in the pot and boil the vegetables..Cook until the vegetables are fork tender for about 20-25 minutes.Remove from water and let it cool off fully before peeling.

Step 3

Chop and peel the pickles.Peeling is optional and my suggestion is peeling is better because they taste better in the salad without tough skin.

Step 4:

Chop the onions.

Step 5:

Rinse and strain canned peas.

Step 6:

Peel and chop carrots, potatoes and eggs in cubes

Step 7

Place the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them together.

Step 8

Combine mustard , mayonnaise and pepper in a small bowl.Add it into the salad ingredients and mix all together.

Important Tips For Making Russian Salad

Do not add salt to your mayonnaise mixture because mayonnaise and Dijon mustard have a lots of salt in them.Dress your salad first then taste it and then add the salt if needed.Always remember that salt can be added at anytime but you cannot take it away.
