Puli Dosai/Tamarind Dosa


For this week Cookbook Challenge Cooking I chose a simple and instant dosa from Mrs.Mallika Badrinath's cook book.The ingredients are quiet similar to the toor dhal dosa  but it tastes slightly tangy with the flavor of coconut and black pepper.As it doesn't need fermentation this can be made in no time.I paired up the dosa with coconut chutney,but goes very well with idly podi and pickle also. Off to the recipe......................................
