DAL DOSA
The dosa is one of the most common breakfast items, especially in the South of India. It comes in many variations depending on the ingredients that go into making these crisp crepes, normally made from a batter of rice and lentils. Apart from the conventional Dosa, you will find recipes in this blog for other types of dosas such as Moong Dal Dosa, Paper Dosa, and Masoor Dal Dosa.
This recipe for Dal Dosa is adapted from one shared by my friend, Priya R. Shenoy in a cookery group in which we are members. The advantage of this dosa is that it is made without rice and one saves time as no fermentation is required. It is therefore helpful to those with diabetes and others who wish to avoid/minimise the use of rice.
