Watermelon Rind Dosa is a traditional dosa from Karwar region, known as Kalingana Polo. Watermelon rind is always discarded but in this traditional dish this part is also used to make this dosa.
This unique dosa is very easy to prepare and is traditionally made with coconut and poha. The batter is thin and is simply pour over hot tawa and left to spread on its own. So it ends up being soft and porous.
When I had planned my list, it was still summer and I could’ve easily got watermelon during the season. However, I let it go and ended up in a season when watermelons are not in season. The strange part is, off late we get all fruits all time, irrespective of season. So the watermelon we get now is a small oblong fruit that seems to be imported.
Hubby Dear was very clear that we shouldn’t get fruits in off seasons. I just couldn’t avoid and asked Amma to get for me. I adapted the recipe from here. The batter colour was slightly pinkish, though the taste wasn’t sweet.
