Craving dosa without the long wait? These simple tips will help you prepare crisp, light dosas instantly at home, using basic pantry ingredients, while keeping the texture and taste close to the traditional version.
Rice flour gives instant structure and crispness, removing the need for soaking, grinding, or fermentation.
Fine rava improves texture and helps the dosa cook evenly without turning soft.
Curd brings mild tang and helps replicate fermented flavour naturally.
A pourable, flowing batter spreads easily and creates thin, crisp dosas.
Baking soda should always be added just before cooking to keep the batter light.
