7 Different Ways To Make Your Dosa And Eat It Too!
Out of all the breakfast options in Southern India, Dosa is my favourite. It doesn’t need a lentil-based vegetable stew or chowder to make it bearable. It doesn’t need a chutney or a powder of spices with some desiccated coconut to make it taste great. It tastes great without these components on your plate. This post will show you all the types of Dosas that exist that don’t need you going through the whole exhaustive process of making it. The batter for dosa is prepared in a manner similar to that of idli. But the ratio of rice to Urad Dal may vary. You can add a bit of fenugreek to make sure the batter spreads evenly without lumps and cooks thoroughly faster. The secret to obtaining a good dosa is in the batter, so it is essential you get it right. Both sides of the Dosa should be cooked briefly to obtain a golden and crisp final product. There are several ingredients that can replace the standard rice batter and Urad Dal. If you’re missing pizza so much, you could just cut up some vegetables and put it on Dosa and cook it to look like pizza. Dosa is flexible like that. One more reason to love this crepe-like breakfast. In this post we talk about the several ways you can make Dosa without utilising just rice batter and Urad Dal. So let’s dive right into it.
