Sabudana Dosa

It is common to make dosa out of ingredients like rice, beaten rice or semolina combined with urad dal. We tried adding sabudana to the equation and it turned out absolutely awesome!
These dosas are crisp, golden-hued and super tasty. Let’s share this innovative recipe with you. Use the exact proportions mentioned in the recipe because a little more or less of any of the ingredients might ruin the texture of the Sabudana Dosa.
Also note carefully which ingredients are to be soaked and ground together while making the batter because these are grouped depending on the grinding time and consistency.
While making the dosas, plan for the required fermentation time as this is not an instant dosa. Serve it hot and fresh with chutney and sambhar.
