i have posted a quite a few fusion recipes with dosa batter, and pizza dosa recipe is not very different from those. perhaps it could be an intriguing and a unique fusion recipe for beginners. well to be honest, there isn’t anything special with this recipe and the dosa batter is made without any changes. as matter of fact, this recipe is made with left-over dosa batter and aimed especially towards kids. moreover, the topping is completely open-ended and can be experimented with choice of vegetables. in this recipe i have limited myself with basic toppings but you can extend with mushrooms, corn, spinach and tomato slices.
furthermore, i would like to add some tips and suggestions for a crisp and perfect pizza dosa recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using masala dosa batter and do not recommend the soft or spongy dosa batter. in addition, do not roll the dosa thin and at the same time thick like set dosa or mini dosa. it has to be in between and should have some thickness to hold the toppings and also the crispiness. lastly, these dosa’s has to be served immediately once it is made. it turns out to be non crispy and also soggy once it loses its warmness. also, it does not require any additional condiments but tastes great with coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
