Carrot Dosa with Mint Chutney- FIC Orange

As the title says this Dosa is made with Carrot, I love making dosa and my kids enjoy eating dosas as well.  I keep changing ingredients and make different kinds of Dosas, but still, Dosa made with rice is the best what do you say?

I am posting this recipe to an event  Aparna of  Mydiversekitchen who is hosting the ''Food in colour'' events started by Harini of sunshinemoms, I hope this looks orange, as I am not a good photographer I tried my best when cooked it was looking orange in colour!!  This month the Food in colour event has come up with ''Orange''

Dosa has always been a comfortable meal to south Indians
