SPONGE DOSA
I simply followed the recipe from a cookbook. 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!!
,though it was very very spongy,I will try that for flavor!
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

My next post will be My event round up!!

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 |
Method:
- Soak washed rice and aval together in buttermilk overnight.
- Morning,drain the excess buttermilk if any and grind to a smooth batter like our idly dosa batter(bit watery than that)
- Mix salt(I added 2 tsp) and cooking soda and mix well.
- 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.
- Now super soft spongy dosa is ready to enjoy!

Jeez..That single dosa pic made me go nuts..:D..I wanna try this,this is more like our appam(vellayappam) recipe than dosa..I dont have aval or buttermilk..:(..Can I get any substitutes Raks..?I so want to try this asap..:D
Nags,
St dosa I think they cook both sides,this one we are cooking only one side and cover and cook:)
Varsha,
I am not sure to replace those 2 with any,may be you can try grinding with cooked rice(in place of rice flakes) and keep it for fermenting and make next day the dosas...this is my own guess,but not sure how effective the result would be :P
Delicious spongy dosa.Tempting
I too tried poha dosa , recipe from my neighbour, urs is looking good :) will try this once..
WOw!! Yummy Sponge dosa!!
Looks delicious and soft with all the holes in them. It has come out perfect. I add some fenugreek and a tablespoon of ullunthu and the taste and smell of it is good. This recipe has come out perfect so why change it??? I will try this recipe next time.

A big hug to you
Can i soak the rice in morning, grind it in evening and make dosa immediately for dinner? Will it work?
Yes sure it will work!
Thank u!
Raksh,
enna solla? I have no grinder and not a good mixie too. But when I checked this out i was like... some miracle should happen to my mixie so that i can try this. Yes, the miracle did happen! I tried this recipe (mixie ground the rice so soft) with nice spicy tomato-chilly chutney. It came out so so well and I bragged about it to my amma :) Thanks so much girl.
More writing... though I know to cook almost any south Indian recipe, at times I get some doubt but i could not call my mom since it'll be mid-night when we prepare our lunch here. So then I immediately get my system and type rakskitchen.com :) If there is any different item from my kitchen my husband now asks...'enna ma..rakskitchen-a?' :D :D
Thank you so so so so much :) You made my day! :) Glad that my site is helping few people,which I started to help myself ;) haha. Keep visiting!
Sure I will! :)
by the way, it's rakskitchen.net and .com, o it's in my most visited list and seldom note the domain :)
hi raks, i wanted to try this recipe as this looks so nice and very good for babay's too. I have some question is no need of fermenting the batter can we do immediately after grinding? do you know how to make butter milk at home as we will be having yogurt all the time but not buttermilk, plsss
