Set Dosa or Sponge Dosa is a wonderful breakfast option that you can quickly make with little planning.
This version of Set Dosa only requires about 2 hours of soaking time after which you can ferment overnight. The texture of this dosa has spongy texture and so can be called as Sponge Dosa as well.
We all loved this so much that it has become part of our regular breakfast dish. We make Kothamalli Podi, Putnala Pappu Podi as the toppings and serve with chutneys. I have another version of Set Dosa that I had made many years ago.
Last month was a memorable one as we met our friends across globe. More on this next week. We are starting a new week with me making 3 different types of breads.

Wow! Look at the top. Such a beautiful texture. I guess this is because of the cooked rice added in the batter. I would happily devour the set dosa Valli.
