Sponge Dosai

Soft n spongy dosais, a very good oil less items, these dosais have to be prepared exactly as we prepare the aappams in a nonstick pan, no need of single drop of oil..Poha n sago gives them soft n spongy aspects to this dish..




2 cups of Raw rice
1/4 cup of Urad dal
1/2 cup of Poha(Aval)
1/2 cup of Sago(Javvarusi)
1/4 tsp of Fenugreek seeds
Salt
Soak rice,urad dal n fenugreek seeds together for two hours.
Soak both poha n sago for one hour..
Grind rice, urad dal n fenugreek seeds together along with soaked poha n sago n salt..the batter must be a bit coarse..Keep in room temperature for two hours..
Heat a tawa..pour a ladle of batter n cover it with a lid n cook until they r well cooked..
No need of oil, no need to turn the dosai..
Serve hot with Sambar n any choices of chutneys..

hello priya, i am writing to u for the first time. I lov ur blog. I got addicted to u and ur blog. I cannot stop myself from visiting ur blog even for one day.

I have a doubt regarding ur sponge dosa. Should u not keep the batter to ferment for overnight.

Hi,

What is the kind of sago used in this recipe? Is it small variety or a nylon variety?

Srividhya, both varieties works prefect, but i'll suggest small variety is too good.
