Easy rangoli designs - beginners

30+ rangoli kolam simple designs  Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present.

Cooking tips tricks cone dosa crisp dosa

Cone dosa recipe | Cone shaped dosa All of us want something different in taste, in plating when it comes to cooking.   So, the popular cone dosa, that has the shape of a cone is one of the favourites of children.

Dosa, idli and Pongal are among the most popular breakfast recipes in South India.  All the three are healthy 

Take a ladle of dosa batter and spread evenly on a tava , starting from the centre and moving towards the periphery as shown in the first image.  Spread the batter as thinly as possible.

Place the stove at high and let the dosa batter become a little crisp. Using a knife cut the dosa being cooked from the circumference to the centre so that the dosa is separated from the edge to the centre.

Crisp dosa or Crispy dosa recipe

We can use idli batter for making dosa, making separate batter is not required.  I use only idli batter.
Batter should not be as viscous as idli batter but slightly less. Heat the tawa on a stove then bring the knob to sim position.  In a ladle take the batter, pour the centre of the tava and spread it as thin as possible using the ladle.  Do not apply too much pressure on the batter being spread.

After spreading the batter, keep the stove knob at medium position.  Apply oil around and at the centre.  Wait for few minutes.  The dosa starts turning brown, remove it from the pan .  Crispy dosa is ready.  We need not turn the dosa to the other side to cook again because it is very thin and gets cooked easily.
