Tousali typically refers to pancakes made with a batter of rice, coconut and cucumber. While Tousali can be spicy or sweet, this mildly sweet version that includes jaggery is a real winner because of its rustic aroma and flavour.
The appetizing aroma of jaggery intensifies when cooked with ghee, luring your family to the table even before you announce the meal!
A little salt added to the batter helps highlight the sweetness of jaggery, while coconut and cucumber provide a juicy crunch to it.

Tousali, a sweet dosa with cucumber. The taste and the flavour is just too good. This dosa to be served, just straight from the tava.. with loads of melted ghee on top. It was just amazing.
