What is Instant Dosa
Instant dosa is a quicker version of authentic South Indian Dosa, eliminating the need for fermented batter made from soaked dal and rice. Instead, it uses readily available flours with basic spices for flavors. Optionally vegetables like onions, carrots, capsicum or coriander are added to the batter or as a topping.

3. To this add water and grind into a smooth flowy batter. PRO TIP – Do not be tempted to add water in one go. Initially add half a cup then add little at a time.
