Vendhaya dosai(Instant Methi Seeds and Rice Crepe)

By Harini
Instant dosai are my saviors many a times.These kind of dished come to my rescue when I don't have normal dosai batter in hand and also not in a position to cook elaborate dinner.Vendhaya dosai is a kind of instant dosai prepared in Tamil homes,it is a very soft and tasty dosai with prominant flavor of methi.Some people may not like the slight bitterness of methi seeds but I absolutely love this.With just 2 hours of soaking time you can prepare these yummy dosai for dinner/breakfast.
