Dosa is most demanding breakfast in every South-Indian restaurant and a popular dish in Indian cuisines. Dosa is usually served with coconut cutney and sambar. Dosa batter is prepared from rice and urad dal, which is usually available in our kitchen. Urad dal is the most nutritious pulse available and rice is already very famous for its easy digestible property. Nowadays, Dosa is very easy to make since we get MTR or Tops “easy mix” in market so it take very less preparation time for batter. But the taste of homemade batter is relatively much better, if you mix in proper proportions. Once Dosa batter is prepared then with little care we can prepare dosa, just as perfect as we get in restaurants.
