Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the banana dosa recipe. Firstly, the combination of rava/semolina with banana is ideal for the South Indian variation. However, it can also be made with plain flour/maida or with wheat flour/atta. Secondly, adding yogurt makes the dosa soft and spongy similar to set dosa. However, if you are allergic or do not like curd or yogurt, you can ignore it. Lastly, the recipe does not undergo fermentation and hence requires baking soda for the soft and spongy texture. However, you can skip it and let it ferment overnight before using it.
