After posting Watermelon Rind Kheer, Watermelon Rind puli kuzhambu and Watermelon Rind Mor Kuzhambu, here comes my 4th Watermelon Rind recipe.... "Watermelon Rind Dosa"

As I quoted in my previous post, this recipe also has bansi rawa but it can be replaced with Bombay rawa or wheat rawa. This is perfect for morning breakfast as it has no fermentation process.Very simple, easy to prepare and mainly, very healthy ! And equally no compromise in taste,it tasted flavorful and delicious.

Instead of throwing away the rind part of watermelon, try this innovative dosa to impress your family members..

Water, as required

Method :

Add grated watermelon rind in a mixer grinder.

Add Bansi rawa followed by green chillies, ginger, coconut (optional) and salt.


Grind into fine batter by adding little water.

Pour it in a bowl and mix well.


Heat dosa pan and smear oil.

Take one ladle of batter and prepare like small dosa.


Once done, remove from the flame and repeat the same process with the remaining batter.
