Instant Cucumber Dosa recipe

Instant cucumber dosa | Southekayi dosa using rice flour and cucumber, super quick to make South Indian breakfast. Cucumber dosa is a popular North Karnataka recipe, i have heard about this a lot. Generally they make it using rice, the traditional way, by soaking, grinding and fermenting the dosa batter. But this cucumber dosa is made using rice flour and a super quick fix breakfast recipe. As cucumber has lot of water content in it this is a perfect recipe for this summer. Generally they grate the cucumber and add in the dosa, but i grind this along with other ingredients, so that the kids will eat without any fuss.
I got this recipe from my friend who taught me the raw mango rasam recipe.
