It’s practically easy-to-use instant food that any bachelor looks for. So, make a jar full of this instant dosa mix today and feel the benefit for yourself.
It all happened like this. Last night during dinner time, my little son was very fussy to eat neer dosa which he hates. I was trying to convince him to eat the same as I had no alternative of his preference. So my food mind was thinking of some ready-to-eat, instant dosa kind of food. Though I never buy such instant dosa mix from the store, was thinking to make it at home. And that is how the magic of instant dosa mix happened.
In this recipe I have used the same ingredients which go in to a actual masala dosa batter. Like white lentils (urad dal), pigeon pea lentils, chickpea lentils and fenugreek seeds along with rice powder. But instead of soaking and grinding, I roasted and powdered. That means, I can store the dry flour longer than actual batter. Which is a big WIN for me. Convincing and bribing son for eating his food which he dislikes isn’t my job henceforth. I have the instant dosa mix and he loved eating the masala dosa made from the same. So happy me..
Once every week or fortnight, I can stock this mix and relax about breakfast or dinner. How about you guys? Do find it easy? handy?
