Taple dose


Taple dose is a delicacy from Karnataka. Its usually prepared for breakfast or in the evening for snacks. Its usually steam cooked in a kadai. As I'm away from India & cannot use a kadai here, I used the tawa.
Ingredients: -
For the mixture: -
1 cup raw rice
1 handful of toor Dal
1 handful of Bengal gram Dal (kadle bele)
2 tsp jeera/jeerge

For the upma: -
1 tsp mustard
2 tsp bengal gram
2 tsp black gram (Udhina bele)
2-3 green chilies
2-3 tsp oil
1 tsp turmeric
4-5 curry leaves
Salt to taste

Method:-
1. Grind rice, toor Dal and Bengal gram Dal with jeera into a coarse mixture. The mixture should be dry. No water should be used.
2. Prepare the dough to make the dose. The dough is prepared like upma.
3. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
4. When the seeds splatter/crack, add the grams.
5. When the grams turn a little brown, add green chilies & curry leaves.
6. Add the rice and Dal mixture and fry for a minute.
7. Add enough water so that the mixture is covered.
8. Add salt.
9. Cover the pan and leave it to cook for 8-10 minutes.
10. Once the mixture gets the upma consistency and is cooked, remove from fire and cool it.

To make doses: -
1. Pre-heat the tawa and put little oil.
2. Make small balls out of the upma mixture.
3. Place them on the plam and make them flat like a cutlet. Make a hole in the middle.
4. Place them on the pre-heated tawa.
5. Place around 5-6 of them together and put oil around each dose.
6. Cover the tawa and cook for 2-3 minutes.
7. Turn them on the other side and cover the tawa and cook for a minute again.
8. The doses've to be brown in color.
9. Serve them hot with plain / kadle kayee (groundnut) chutney pudi / powder.
