    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

    Now coming to today's recipe, it is going to be sponge dosa. Yes which is entirely new to me when I heard about this first. But now we make it often at home. 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.

    Ingredients for Sponge Dosa

    Rice 

    Aval | Poha | Flattened Rice

    Buttermilk | Curd | Yogurt

    Baking Soda

    SPONGE DOSA PREPARATION

    • Soak rice, poha in buttermilk overnight. In the morning add it to the blender, (if there is lots of buttermilk left please drain it, a little amount is not a problem).
    • Blend it into a smooth paste. Add enough water to make into smooth batter. The batter should be little bit thinner than the dosa batter.
    • Now add in salt and baking soda and mix well.
    • Heat a pan. Try to use non stick. Pour a ladleful of the batter in it, don’t spread the batter..It will spread automatically.
    • Drizzle some oil around the sides. Cover it with a tight fitting lid and let it cook for a min.
    • Now there will be small holes formed over the top. Remove and Serve..

      I have not seen this kind of dosa before, it looks good I would love to try it. I should look into this dosa marathon...I've made crispy dosa, soft mung bean dosa and quinoa dosa before. I can't wait to see seven days of dosa.
