SPONGE DOSA

           I simply followed the recipe from “100 Tiffin varieties” by Mrs.Mallika Badrinath. Its a long time wish for me to try this and today I tried and was satisfied with the results. There are so many sponge dosa recipes out there in the blog world,and here is another simple version!  It was too spongy and was good enough even when cooled down!

Next time I will try adding Vendayam/fenugreek seeds as in other blogs!! Angel,though it was very very spongy,I will try that for flavor!

INGREDIENTS:

Idly rice(parboiled rice) 2 cups
Rice flakes/aval/poha 1/4 cup
Sour butter milk 3 – 4 cups
Cooking soda 1/4 tsp
Oil & salt As needed

Sponge stack!

Method:

  1. Soak washed rice and aval  together in buttermilk overnight.
  2. Morning,drain the excess buttermilk if any and grind to a smooth batter like our idly dosa batter(bit watery than that)
  3. Mix salt(I added 2 tsp) and cooking soda and mix well.
  4. Heat the tawa (I used a nonstick one) and pour a ladle full of batter and drizzle oil and don’t spread the batter,cook covered in medium flame for a minute.

  5. Now super soft spongy dosa is ready to enjoy!

Porous texture!

Serve with a spicy chutney,we had with coconut chutney ground with red chillies and a garlic! Was really yummy and we all 3 ate well Happy

With chutney!

Notes:

  • No holes formed in the dosa? Check the consistency of the batter,too thick batter or even too thin batter wont give you porous dosa. Try adding more cooking soda and mix well and try again.
