Avarekai Dose

This is one of the tastiest dosa and also my favorite.  Best with ghee and gooseberry pickle. Avare kaalu is a kannada word in english hyacinth beans, Surti Papdi in hindi.

Almost in every home in karnataka this bean is used to make some tasty dishes (Upma, Idli, Dosa, Sambar etc.,). I have choosen dosa for this bean. Enjoy and do try.
