This dosa is made of green moong dal
instead of urad dal. For this you have to soak the green moong dal overnight and
then grind it with soaked rice to make a dosa batter. You can place the chopped
onions and grounded groundnut chutney in between the dosa to make it more
interesting. As green moong dal is very high in protein it is a very nutritious
breakfast item.
2. Neer Dosa
Neer dosa is totally made of rice batter.
No dal is mixed in this batter as done in the general dosa batter. The neer
dosas are very soft and fluffy. This dosa has a mesh like appearance and is
generally accompanied with chicken curry.
3. Besan Dosa (Chilla)
The besan dosa or famously known as chilla
in North India is an instant kind of dosa. You don’t have to soak any rice or
dal for this dosa. Just add water to the besan to make a dosa kind of
consistency. You can add tomatoes, onions, green chilies, coriander leaves to
it along with spices to make it interesting.
4. Poha Dosa
To make poha dosa you have to grind the
soaked poha with soaked rice to make the dosa batter. No urad dal is used in
this dosa. Due to poha it gives the dosa a very crispy texture and tastes good
too. You can spread the podi chutney on the dosa along with some ghee to make
it tastier.
5. Chocolate Dosa

this, on the normal dosa you can spread the chocolate spread and top it with
some nuts to make a tasty and healthy dosa for the kids.

This dosa is quite famous in the northern
part of the country. It is make with the wheat flour. You have to add the sugar
and water in the wheat flour and beat it to make a dosa kind of batter. Try to
make thin dosas with this batter as the thinner ones tastes better.

This dosa is again as sweet dosa. To make
this dosa replace the rice/urad dal with mashed banana and milk. No need to add sugar as the natural sugar
from banana is enough. Top the dosas with some chopped bananas. This is again
very good for kids as they love the banana flavor and it is very rich in potassium.
