To tell you the truth I have never tried adding any puree to the dosa batter, though I like the idea. It will definitely make it very flavorful..cucumber and chllies sounds fantastic in a dosa. Will try this recipe the next time I make dosas.

I usually grind the cucumber with the rice . This instant version sounds very easy! And it is definitely a good way to feed veggies to children who otherwise hate them!

like PJ, I too grind the cucumber with soaekd rice and coconut. This version is being bookmarked.. I am (wickedly) thinking I should add lauki in place of cucumber ! Lol !

The cucumber and the chilies would have added such a nice flavor to the dosa. I can't wait to try this with my home grown cucumbers. Love to try some different flavors.
