Many of you from Tamil nadu might know this mudakathan keerai dosai, which your mom makes and ask you to take it for its health benefits.
My mom also makes this dosa often at home as it is found easily in out backyard in plenty (climber). I have literally cried for eating this dosa in my childhood.
Yes, I hate the color of the dosa since it is green and the ‘raw’ smell we get during cooking. Eating Pavakkai, sundakkai and this were nightmare for me.

After these many years, I started thinking about this mudakathan keerai dosai. I was I would like it as many things regarding my food priority changed already.
I was asking Vj if he likes this dosai, even he said, he doesn’t like. But I always had a thought to give it a try. I was thinking I should ask my MIL to make once when I go there or try to buy some while coming back to Singapore.
Yes, I have not seen mudakathan keerai in Singapore. But when a reader friend told me about this organic vegetable delivery, I thought of giving it a try.
It did not happen few weeks as I would be having vegetables in stock while they have their schedule. This time it happened and I ordered some veggies from their list.
Mudakathan keerai also was there in their list and I was really tempted to order it and try this mudakathan dosai. When it got delivered, I was super happy and made this, after asking mom about the procedure on how to make it.
I am sorry they suspended their service, so I do not have any recommendation. I have heard some little India vegetable vendors source it if you request. Do check them out personally to find out.
