Print Friendly and PDF
set-dosa-recipe-menu
Set dosa and sagu recipe is a famous breakfast combo in Karnataka. I tried this recipe from Mrs. Mallika Badrinath’s cookbook and got credits from my family. I made some small changes in the actual recipe. I omitted food color this time and used chana dal. So the color of the dosa you see in picture is its original color. It was very soft and spongy too like a pancake. MB suggested carrot kurma as side dish. So I prepared the same. Yes, its really a good combo. It was mildly sweet like we get in Karnataka restaurants. If you like this combo, try this kurma. Else you can make mixed vegetable kurma. It also tastes good. I prepared coconut chutney too. We had a nice breakfast today ! Lets see how to make set dosa with a side dish.
