This is the dosa i hated the most all my life until my marriage. When I was doing my Engineering at my Aunt's place she would make this dosa once in a fortnight and I couldn't tell her that I hated this dosa. I used to eat only half and when nobody's around slowly flip the dosa under the book and give it to my friend who used to yearn for homely food. Finally I was caught red handed when i forgot the book at my study table and my aunt saw ants all over my book to see dosas inside!! ;))
Infact I used to tell my amma that i will totally ban this dosa after marriage. Gosh!!!! This is my hubby's favourite and he wouldn't mind having it everyday for breakfast and now my daughter's too. I had to take back my words and nobody believes when i say that I have started liking this dosa now... Really strange!!! Ultimately we are ready to do anything for our family!!! Now i don't have any particular dislikes as such. Now thats the part of growing up!!!

This is something really new...never tried this before...I agree whole hearted about tastes changing after marriage! I have numerous such examples myself
Wow..one of my favorite breakfasts ever..I still have not blogged about it coz even though it comes out tasty,I never seem to get the shape right,plus I dont have the patience to click snaps when I see the piping hot bhakri...yours look quite spongy/soft..love it!!
My mom makes it when she is on fasting.. I used to ask a piece from her and usually end up eating the whole thing..Looks yummy
This sounds good! Must be a similar to rava dosa, I think!
