Recipes - Kayloli (Mangalorean Traditional Dosa)

Ingredients:

2 cups pour boiled rice 
4 cups scraped coconut
Salt to taste


Method:

Wash and soak rice in water for 2-3 hours. Drain and grind the soaked rice along with coconut and salt, adding required amount of water. The batter consistency should be medium thick like idli batter. Keep this overnight or for about 8-9 hours in room temperature.

Heat a non-stick pan, grease it with oil. Pour a spoonful of batter in the center of the pan, allowing it to spread on its own. Cover the pan and fry until soft. They are thick in the centre, proportionately thinner at the ends, and very very soft!

Serve hot with sour and spicy fish curry or chicken curry.

Editor’s Note: Calorie watchers may reduce the quantity of coconut to 2 cups.

    My sister-in-law taught me this preparation and I've been preparing Kayloli here Canada for the last 4 years, they taste better on an earthen tawa which I bought from Udupi. Also tastes good with sweet roce. Remember the following while preparing on earthen tawa - a. You should not grease with oil, instead before pouring the batter you ought to wipe with wet cloth and wait until the tawa is heated well before pouring the batter. Secondly the flame has to be even all around. Thank you Veronica, I must try this on a nonstick pan.

    @FM.Par boiled Rice is what we in Konkani say UKDO thandu.ricecorn is cooked and dried before it is milled.Row Rice is not cooked so it breaks easily and milky consistance Cooks early whereas parboiled Rice takes longer to cook.but healthier especially for diabetic People.

    I have eaten kailolios in my childhood which my grandmother used to make. Yes, they were made in a kayl" made out of broken earthenware. The rice was "surai" and the kailolios were crisp at the bottom and had a unique flavour and taste of its own kind. They are eaten with roce (jaggery and cardomoms added)and are just out of this world!

    @veronica, Instead of using only par boiled rice, you can make Kayloli by adding 50/50 par boiled and raw rice or using raw rice only. If you are using only raw rice, you can add for 2 cups of rice either one cup of poha (beaten rice) or half cup of cooked white rice to the batter while grinding. 4 cups of grated coconut is not required, one cup of fresh grated coconut is sufficient. Little Coconut milk also can be added. It will help to ferment the batter. Instead of frying it in non-stick pan greased with oil, you can fry it with iron griddle (thawa) without applying any oil so that it will be thick in the centre and thin at the edges and soft and fluffy with crispy base. If it sticks to the thawa, then wipe the thawa with a clean damp cloth before pouring the batter to it. It goes very well with roce (jaggery and cardamom flavoured coconut milk).

    @Veronica/Mangalore.

    I remember since late 60s my grandma used to fry the Kayloli in a ((KAYL)) that is derived from the lower portion of a broken earthen large size vessel that has capacity to cook 5-10 kg rice etc.

    The earthen ((KAYL)) gives a unique flavour that is absent in a non-stick pan or tawa !!

    Further, she used different type of rices for mutli, patholi, dosas, idlis, appams, kayloli, and many types of rice bhakri too.

    Very yummy stuff of olden days!!
