Hello Friends...

I love Dosas... What about you...???
Our South Indians are famous for our Idly & Dosas,Right...
Everybody at home,Loves Dosas...
This Dosa taste like Egg, So its also called Vegetarian Omelette...
When you add array of Vegetables,It becomes Vegetable omelette..
But I like it,Just as Regular Dosa..
One more thing,.. It doesn't need any fermentation also ...
Isn't it interesting to know that...???

Add the chopped onions,G.Chillies,... Saute till it turns pink..
Off the stove & add the curry leaves & Coriander too...

The batter can be quiet thin & Flowy...thicker than Rawa Dosa batter...
This Dosa doesn't need any Fermentation... Its an instant one...

Now ,Take a ladle of batter & Pour it on the heated Dosa Tawa,Sprinkle oil all the sides...
Turn it up & Cook till both sides are done...
