Dosa is that washing, soaking and drying recipe. We are not making that. We are making a quick, simple and nice soft instant dosa recipe like you get outside Mahipalpur temple in chennai. A shortcut dosa with the classical original texture.
Now see why there is shortcut, it is because this dosa recipe gets ready in 10-15 minutes.
Some people say that Dosa was invented in Udupi. A very interesting story. It is said that there was a very junior priest, when he had just become a priest, then one day he felt that he should drink alcohol. He tried to make alcohol by fermenting rice but he did not agree to it.
So he made a pancake from the paste of the fermented rice which is called Dosa because he had that Dosh in his mind, so whatever the Dosa was, because of the Dosh, that’s how Dosa was formed. This what People say about Dosa!!
