Soft and sponge dosa made using rice, poha and yogurt. This makes super soft porous dosa.
Sponge Dosa Recipe
I can see many of your faces are smiling. I know the reason, Dosa is a saviour of us all time. When my mother have no time to cook or have nothing in our house(except dosa batter), she will quickly ruzzle up some hot crispy dosa and some coconut chutney. How good is that.
I really like dosa a lot, but I always want it to be different. I don’t like to have the boring dosa always. Sometimes I make onion dosa, tomato dosa with some crushed pepper on top(YUM YUM), vegetable dosa and many more. I am planning to post all sorts of dosa soon. So keep checking on.
About Sponge Dosa

This is a soft porous dosa which stays soft for a long time. This taste great with spicy coconut chutney or tomato chutney. Hope u like it and let me know what you think.
