Steamed dosa sounds interesting! Yes, absolutely!! This recipe is served in “chutneys” restaurant with varieties of chutneys. “Chutneys” is a famous vegetarian restaurant in Hyderabad. Steamed dosa is very easy to make. All you need is idly dosa batter. I’ve prepared steamed dosa with idly dosa batter which is very well fermented. The steamed dosa came out very nicely. Steamed dosa is very tasty and oil free, which can be served with any chutney or sambar. I’ve served steamed dosa with jaggery syrup, sweetened grated coconut and coconut chutney. This is a perfect Pooja/Vrat recipe. Here I present a very delicious, spongy, oil free steamed dosa which can be served as a breakfast or evening snack or dinner too.

2. Heat non stick tawa. When it becomes hot pour two ladles of batter onto the tawa. Spread the batter to get thick dosa. Do not use oil.

3. If the batter is well fermented we get nice spongy dosas.

4. Keep the lid and cook on low flame till the dosa is done completely.

Tip:

If you are using iron tawa for preparing dosas, just use one drop of oil for seasoning. This avoids dosas sticking to the tawa/pan.
