BUN DOSAY/DOSA/ಬನ್ ದೋಸೆ …with less rice and more of fenugreek seeds
![](https://tinditirtha.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/imgonline-com-ua-resize-PHYjKT7Wjq.jpg)
Bun dosa/y is one of the popular, soft, thick kind of dosa/y familiar with the people of Tamilnadu and Kerala. it gets the texture, size and look as same as baked bun, may be that’s why this is famous as bun dosa/y.
Unlike the other dosa/y varieties, this one doesn’t contain any lentil in it. But it contains the flavour and aroma of fresh coconut evidently. And this has a considerable amount of fenugreek seeds in it. Very long back I have tasted this dosa/y in a restaurant in Chennai. They make it in two ways ie… with tempering and without adding any tempering. I normally make it without putting tempering.
As the name itself depicts, this dosa is made in small size and thick like bun. So no need to spread the batter. This should be covered and cooked on low heat and takes little more time than usual ones.
Normally most of them put only one tsp of fenugreek seeds to 2 to 3 cups of rice, but I have my own measurement of ingredients to make this dosa/y and add more fenugreek seeds into it with comparatively less rice.
One important thing which makes a difference while making the batter for this dosa/y is, we need to whisk the ground batter very well using our hand (you can check in the video) We do whisk any dosa/y idly batter for sure for that matter, but in this more whisking is needed comparatively.
I also have a video demonstration of this recipe, do check below or on my You tube channel. I insist you all to make it at least once. Please do let me know in that case and also like, comment and Subscribe to my You tube channel. You can also share the recipe with your friends and family – Hey….thanks in advance.
