Method :

• Take the bottle gourd, wash, peel and grate it.

• Take a pan (non stick if possible), grease it with oil and put on the high flame.
• Add batter to it to form a dosa.
• Cover the lid and keep it for 2 minutes on sim flame. ( If you are not doing multitasking, like I usually do, you can keep it on high flame for a minute).

Health Benefits :
Bottle gourd which is low in calories and fats and rich in essential minerals, iron, proteins, high in fiber is having the health benefits as preventing fatigue and excessive loss of thirst, preventing constipation and dehydration relaxing, curing jaundice.

Bonus tip :  You can add rice floor/besan/wheat floor to make  the batter which will make it more healthy and you will get different taste as well.

Fuel Saving Tip : If you keep aside the batter for some time say half an hour, you will require less time/energy to cook the dosa.
