SEPPANKILANGU FRY/COLLACASSIA FRY/ARBI FRY

April 19, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

It is when fasts come or when iam really in a mood to have instant dosa but a filling one,i make this.It is very easy and requires no standing time.You can make the batter start making it and eat ,that’s it.Wheat dosa is also a good option to diabetic patients and they can easily eat this to heart’s content.I prepared this dosa for my MIL for dinner sometime last week.Some make this plain wheat dosa but i have added a quater cup of rice flour for extra crispiness.I remember grandma preparing these and in those days people were more so…
