Learn how to make Dosa

Riverside Milk

Learn how to make the South Indian speciality Dosa in this Saturday's 2-hour cooking. 10th September, 10.30 am to 12.30 pm at Riverside Centre Kitchen in Lower Moutere.

Originating in the southern part of India, Dosa is a tasty gluten-free rice pancake that’s commonly eaten for breakfast. It gives the ideal kickstart to your day as it has the right amount of carbs and protein, minus saturated fats and sugars.

The thin batter-based pancake is made from a fermented batter predominantly consisting of lentils and rice. Its main ingredients are rice and black gram ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt, then fermented. This makes Dosa a great option for those amongst us who are on a gluten-free diet!

Tutor Antonia was born and raised in Southern India. She will be teaching you how to make the classic Dosa from that region and then discuss some variations.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.

We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
