Poha Dosa Recipe | Atukula Dosa | Avalakki Dosa | Instant Aval Dosa with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Dosa recipes have always been one of the favorite and popular breakfast recipes from South Indian cuisine. Yet there is a complexity to preparing this recipe, mainly with soaking, grinding, and fermenting which can overwhelming for beginners. This can be easily solved with instant recipes and the instant poha dosa recipe is one such popular set dosa type known for its softness and sponginess.

I have posted several soft and instant dosa recipes till now, but none of them are so close to authentic and traditional set dosa as this poha dosa. Perhaps it is mainly due to the combination of ingredients used to prepare this dosa recipe. Basically, the combination of rava, poha, and curd makes it a soft and spongy texture. As a matter of fact, the addition of poha makes it soft for any dosa recipe. However, just the poha may not be able to hold the shape and hence rava or semolina is added so that it helps to give shape to it. Also, with this post, I have shared a new and simple sweet chutney recipe made with coconut and jaggery. This is a traditional sweet chutney prepared for set dosa and hence I thought of sharing it with this avala dosa. Do try this and let me know if you would opt for this type of set dosa recipe.

Additionally, some more related and important tips, suggestions, and variants to the poha dosa recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have used thin poha which does not require any additional soaking and can be directly used to prepare the batter. If you are using thick or medium poha you may need to soak it before using it. Secondly, the consistency of the batter is the key and significant part of the perfect texture of this dosa. It has to be neither thick nor thin and has to be of pouring consistency. Lastly, you need to cook the dosa on a medium flame, preferably using a nonstick dosa pan. Cast iron dosa pan can be an issue with dosa sticking to the dosa pan. Also, I have not added oil while roasting the dosa, but you may add it as per your choice.

About Poha Dosa:

It is basically a simple and easy soft dosa recipe prepared with beaten rice, semolina, and yogurt. In other words, poha dosa or aval dosa is a quick and cheat version of the traditional set dosa recipe which is mainly prepared using rice and urad dal. Moreover, it does not require the 8 hours plus fermentation process as it is prepared as an instant breakfast. Due to the addition of sour curd and baking soda, the dosa gets a unique soft and porous texture.

In addition, the preparation or spreading of dosa on a pan is much easier compared to any dosa. Typically, once the dosa batter is poured on top of dosa pan, it is spread using a circular motion. This can be a tricky process, especially for beginners. However, the avalakki dosa batter is thin in consistency and hence spreads itself without the hassle of spreading. Also, it can be cooked with just steam and no use of oil to roast it. Therefore, it can also be termed as one of the healthy and tasty dosa recipes.
