Initially, making dosas seemed like the the most cumbersome task...soak, grind, ferment, was really too much of advance preparation for a simple breakfast...
Instant dosas were a saviour...You can have the dosa in less than 10 mins from the time you decided on eating one !
This recipe is from my friend Lal, who had brought them to office once...
Its my emergency dosa recipe - gets done in a jiffy...
What you need -
1 cup maida / AP flour
1 cup rice flour
1 cup rava / sooji / semolina
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp grated fresh coconut
2 tsp chopped coriander leaves
4-5 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
What you do with it -
Mix the maida, rice flour and rava in a large bowl
Add water to make it into a smooth paste
4-5 cups is an approximation here - I really dont measure the water - the consistency should be thinner that the regular dosa batter
Add cumin seeds, chopped coriander leaves, coconut and salt
Heat the tava and add a few drops of oil
This dosa cannot be spread out like the usual rice-urad dal dosa batter
Take the batter in a big ladle and start from the sides, then bring it to the centre. What I do is move the tava to make the batter fill in the gaps, if any
Cover and let it cook for a minute or two
Then flip over and fry for another minute
Serve with a freshly ground chutney or a chutney podi, like this one

hi archie!
its me deepti from school. love your blog. try and come here as much as i can! by the way, this instant dosa or didheer dosa as my mom calls it:) is my eternal favourite. it comes out quite well. what you can also add is: curds. its sour then. as in mix in curds and the rest water. keep aside for 15 mins.
sometimes what i also do is (to make it a little more "authentic") is add dried and powdered methi leaves. kind of the menthya taste comes in :) but either way its a brilliant recipe! keep up the great work archie!
your ardent follower,
deepti
