Mudakathan keerai /Balloon vine leaves/Harivay Soppu/buddakakara - I have never heard about this keerai and this dosa recipe till my marriage. When i was newly married my MIL made it once by taking the mudakathan leaves from our backyard. I tasted that for the first time ..I loved its color , taste and flavor very much.After so many years , my MIL made it recently buying these leaves from US (Uzhavar sandhai , this is how Sendhil calls. Whenever I ask him to take me to US , he immediately says like this).I got a bunch from her and made on my own for the first time. It just came out perfect !! It comes out very soft as well as crispy even though we add less urad dal.Apart from its amazing health benefits , i just love this keerai for its flavor. Do try this dosa if u get mudakathan keerai. U’ll start making it often..Please click
