Phanna Doddak means Tempered Dosa in Konkani cuisine. This is a no ferment dosa and only efforts needed is to soak the urad dal and grind to a smooth batter.
This batter reminded me of Dibba roti from Andhra, with the major portion of the batter is urad dal and the tempering makes all the difference.
Phanna Doddak is made in different styles, however majority is prepared as a thick dosa, with the tempering poured over the top. However, I noticed the tempering being mixed with the batter as well. I had adapted it from here and though this method was not exactly as how it should, I went ahead adding to the batter. Also the recipe talks about Semolina and says Idli Rava, though both are not the same. I went with Semolina.
Since this doesn’t require fermentation, you can plan this quickly for lunch box when you are out of ideas. This tastes excellent with coconut chutney and Konda surely enjoyed it. The dishes with P were Poda Pithe, Palappam, Pudla. I almost thought of Pudla, but it was already done in different way.
Phanna Doddak is my choice for P in the AtoZ Flatbread and more, where I am doing AtoZ Dosa Varieties. If you are wondering what I made for in P in AtoZ Indian Flatbreads, hop over!

Very interesting Dosa, Valli. Urad dal and semolina combination??? I should try this out for sure.
gayathriraani says
The recipe is quite interesting Valli. With both rava and head dal, the dosa must be crispy. With the added tempering it surely looks delicious.

Wow I was sure there exist such a recipe. I recently had made some extra urad Dal, and then made it as dosa . Glad to know it's name . Dosa looks delicious
mayurisjikoni says
I love the South Indian tempering ingredients..it makes a dish smell so good and taste equally good. Adding tempering to the dosa, what an interesting recipe. I seriously didn't know there were so many varieties of dosas.
Simply Tadka says
This recipe quite interesting and addition of rava and dal in batter makes more crispy dosa.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
This is interesting dosai. I have never used urad dal batter for non fermented dosai. I have to give these a try one of these days. Simple and easy for weeknight dinners.
Annapurnaz says
I'm always look for no ferment dosa and this being one surely going to be made in my home. though I add tempering to idli batter sometimes, but adding tempering to dosa is new to me. It must have made dosa quite flavorsome
Padmajha PJ says
Whenever the regular dosa batter turns slightly sour, amma seasons it and makes dosa. This version of urad and semolina sounds so good that I have to try it and surprise amma!
