Poha Dosa - Aval Dosai - Instant Atukula Dosa Recipe
This dosa batter is made without urad dal and the best part is that the batter doesn’t need over night fermentation. It can be made instantly after grinding. This aval dosai is sure a welcome change from the aval upma. I followed the recipe from Sailu’s blog but I altered the quantity of ingredients and made it without adding cooking soda/ baking soda. This recipe works great for this summer season. I prepared the dosa batter in the afternoon and made the dosa without adding baking soda for dinner. I gave a resting time of 6 hours for the batter. So I have mentioned it as instant poha dosa as I din't ferment the batter overnight. Also you can make this dosa instantly by adding baking soda.
Do try it for your breakfast or dinner. You will love it and make it very often. Lets see how to make Andhra special South Indian Aval dosa recipe with step by step photos.

Iyengar Bakery’s masala vegetable bread toast also known as open sandwich is very popular in Bangalore. I have tasted this many times but never thought of sharing this simple and easy bread recipe here.You can call this as “Indian Bruschetta”, hehe. Yesterday I bought a pair of toast from the bakery and relished it with tea. I got tempted to make it at home. This morning I made it for Raksha and Sendhil’s lunch box.
