Instant Dosa Recipe: Enjoy Instant Dosa in 30 minutes

Paper-thin and perfectly crisp dosas have gone from being a breakfast staple of the south to being one of the most loved dishes all across the subcontinent. These wafer-like crepes loaded with flavouful masalas,served with sambar and coconut chutney are delicious to taste but the thought of preparing the same on a busy morning may want you to put the idea aside. This is mainly because the process of making the batter and keeping it overnight can be a time-taking one. One needs to plan ahead and a sudden desire to eat this South Indian delicacy cannot always be met. Traditionally speaking,  the batter of dosas and idlis need it be soaked overnight for ideal fermentation, the fermented batter is then used to cook the lip-smacking dosas and idlis. But what if we were to tell you, that you may not have to do the entire drill of making the perfect dosa batter overnight and can have your perfect dosas made from scratch in about 30 minutes. Instant dosas are very much a reality and here’s how you can make them at home, without relying on the store-bought Instant dosa mix.^{crisp dosa} The mix can be easily made at home, with just a handful of cooked/uncooked rice or rice flour or semolina. If you want your dosas to be flavourful you can also add some chopped chillies, onions, and diced coconuts.Youtuber and Food blogger Alpa Munjal shares her ingenious recipe of making Instant Rava Dosa at home. All you need is some semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, green chillies, coconut, coriander and onions, tad bit of ghee, oil and little bit of water and you are set.
