Do Note, this tastes well only when done on a cast iron tawa
Thanks a lot Siya. Yes I totally agree with you about cast iron

Much appreciate your lovely comments

Worked well with Eno fruit salt! I added it at the time of preparing the dosa rather than the mix. Thanks for this recipe, will be very useful to take while traveling!

Today I made dosa…all measurement was exact u mention…but my dosa doesnt spread properly..it was all crumbling as I was trying to spread on circular motion…..otherwise I keep on making normal dosa by soaking overnight and it come out good….I m feeling my dosa mix will go waste..pls suggest something…..y it’s not spreading properly
do not worry.. you need to prepare a lump free batter.. else it will not be easy for you to spread on tawa.. and also adjust the consistency by adding water as required..
Hello …I tried dis instant dosa mix ….But the dosa was not at all crispy .
it also depends on the tawa and the consistency of dosa batter
Hi…i tried ur recipe….but my dosa became very thick…..what could be the problem with that….and even i was not able to spread it.
try to make thin batter. also do not keep your tawa on high flame.
You suggest adding rice powder. Is it raw rice powder or boiled rice powder
raw rice powder or store bought rice flour should do.
I tried dosas didn’t come crisp.. taste was ok though.. any suggestions
what tawa did you use? also did you add baking soda?
I used baking soda.. n I did on non stick.. I tried again with new set of ingredients.. did not feel like masala Dosa at all !!! Very thick
you need to adjust the consistency of batter
Can we use the same mix for idli also?? If not please suggest changes required to make idli mix.
nope you cannot. i will soon post idli mix as well.
Before roasting dals were washed n dry or used as it is….just wanted to know since these are polished dals n can harm ur system
no i used it raw as i get cleaned one here. but you can always wash it if you prefer.

Thanks for uploading all such wonderful and scrumptious recipes which, I feel, is a great way to connect to the roots. I personally agree with your finger licking comment about udnittu/uddina gojju also what we call in Kundapura.

I don’t think you really tried this recipe before writing your comment. I tried the exact way as mentioned. The outcome was horrible. This is the worst recipe I have come across in the internet. The process is laborious and the outcome is inferior. My advice is: DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS RECIPE AND FRUSTRATE YOURSELF.
sorry to see the recipe didnt work for you.. we have tried and shown the result with a video.. moreover, many have tried and shared photos with us..
