Semiya Dosai recipe | Instant Vermicelli Dosa recipe
Semiya Dosai recipe | Instant Vermicelli Dosa recipe is one of the easy and simple breakfast ideas that can be prepared Instant and is also healthy. If you have some roasted vermicelli, roasted rava and flour handy, then this is the easiest of all south indian dosa recipes
I simply loved the flavor of this dosa because it is not just plain but loaded with vegetables and nuts. Enough spiced so that it tastes good just without any chutney. Although I paired it with coconut ginger chutney.
After making the very regular instant dosa varieties like Wheat Rava dosa, Tomato dosa, I was planning to try something different but easy and healthy. This is a.k.a Semiya Kaikari dosai having vegetables in it.
I have added only potatoes, carrots and onions in it. But in case you want to try a different flavor too – add a tomato while grinding all the vegetables. When I read this recipe in a cookbook, I was wondering how the raw potato paste would taste along with semiya in dosa but trust me I will give it a 5-star rating!
