Cucumber dosa popularly known as Southekayi dosa in Kannada is a healthy and refreshing breakfast in summer made by grinding fresh cucumber with soaked rice and coconut. This traditional Mangalore, Udupi style cucumber dosa uses a natural fermentation method to makes the crepes super soft, spongy and aromatic like set dosa. <\/p>\n

Usually this dosa is prepared using Mangalore Cucumber but I used the regular green salad cucumber that we get in Bangalore. Actually this Southekai dosa can be prepared in 2 ways. One is the instant version, where you can make the dosa as soon as you grind the batter. Another method is by fermenting the batter overnight as I have shown here. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fermentation method gives you the super soft and spongy dosa. The texture and taste was so good. You will not get the raw smell of cucumber as we are fermenting the batter. I am sure you will love this Southekayi dosa recipe and make it often. <\/p>\n

People in Tamilnadu, all over India and abroad can use the cucumber variety you get in your local market because the softness of this dosa is depending on the quantity of cooked rice and coconut. However please note that the final taste and smell may vary slightly based on the type of cucumber you use. <\/p>\n

Ok, lets see how to make this yummy Cucumber dosa recipe with step by step pictures and video. <\/p>\n
