I love instant foods, because it makes life so simple and provides yummy dish while we are so hungry. When thinking about instant recipes, the first thing which comes to my mind is Pancakes.This is one of that instant variety..It is a popular rajasthani recipe…Typically it is served with green chutney or tamarind chutney along with a toast on the side.The meal was so good and I couldn’t stop myself from eating it.Everyone loved it .

Directions
Mix everything given in the list except oil in a mixing bowl.
Add enough water so that it forms into dosa batter consistency.
Heat a non stick tawa..Pour a ladleful of batter over that and make a slightly thin dosa..Drizzle oil around the sides..
Cook for 1 min on one side and flip over and cook on other side too..Drizzle some more oil if needed.
Cook until it gets crispy.. Serve hot with chutney and eat it immediately, because it is best had piping hot..Once it gets cold it is not that good..
