Unlike the traditional way of eating dosa with chutney and sambar, this pudi dosa is little fancy. Kids love to have toppings on dosa and eat it as a roll. So it’s a kind of kids friendly way of serving dosa. The same old fashioned dosa, if served with a fancy twist, kids become fan of it. So once in 1-2 weeks I try to bring little variation in dosa itself.
Pudi dosa has toppings of butter and chutney powder basically. It’s the butter that makes the dosa to be cooked crisp but I love the aroma that butter wafts out. When chutney pudi is spread over, it nicely forms layer over dosa. And here you can play around to use your favorite toppings like onion, coriander leaves, coconut or cheese or paneer or whatever you wish to. They all give nice crunch while eating making you fall in love with food.
Though pudi dosa doesn’t require any side dish like chutney, you can choose to have them. So how about having this dosa together?
