INSTANT BANANA DOSA

Instant Banana Dosa or Pancake is a easy to make vegan recipe that uses ripe bananas and sooji (or semolina) and can be prepared in less than 15 minutes. These pancakes are soft and chewy and get over in no time.

You can prepare both sweet as well as spicy version of this dosa. I first prepare the batter and cook the sweet version, and then add in finely chopped green chilies and cook the spicy version. This recipe is prepared also during fasting days and is known as rulava bakri in konkani. This can be served alone or with butter or honey.

My family loves to eat dosa every morning for breakfast and I always love to try new ways of making it. This is one such dosa recipe that is loved by all.

You can also try substituting banana with cucumber, pumpkin or zucchini. You can check out the recipes for the same below:
