A simple solution to make one common idli dosa batter and prepare soft idlis, crispy hotel style dosas, sponge dosas and set dosas.

The best part is it is ground in the mixie itself , so small families can easily grind a batch without having to do bulk grinding in wet grinder. It is also better to grind fresh everytime rather than having to use week old sour batter .

I grind about three time s a week for my family and i dont feel the effort as it is done in the mixie itself . The uses of this multi purpose batter

1. plain dosa

2. masala dosa

3. Crisp paper dosa

4. set dosa/sponge dosa

5.Gundu paniyarams

6. Uthappam

7. sponge kushboo idlis

The mixie remains cool through out
