Sabudana Dosa or Tapioca pancake is a very healthy, easy to make and tasty dosa that can be prepared even on fasting or vrat days.
Are you tired of trying out regular dosa ? Then try out this appetizing and quick alternate dosa recipe. What I love about this dosa is that it requires no grinding or fermentation. You can serve this for breakfast or even as complete meal. I have served it with spicy tomato curry.
Sometimes the tapioca that I get from stores do not work well for making sabudana khichdi, as it becomes mushy and find it difficult to handle. Instead of throwing away the packet, I decided to try preparing dosas with it and the outcome was a big success. Even after it cools down this dosa remains soft and tastes good. Do try out this recipe and share your comments and variations.
Preparation time : 30 minutes
Serves : approx 8 dosas
Ingredients for Sabudana Dosa

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing - pinch

Semolina / Sooji - 1 cup (check tips)
Water - approx ½ cup or as needed
Soybean flour or Singhare Ka atta - ¼ cup ( you can also use maida or rice flour instead)

Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Steps to prepare Sabudana Dosa
Step I
- Soak sabudana / tapioca pearls in water for 2 hours and drain it.
- Now add all the ingredients mentioned in the list above and mix well adding water little by little to form a batter. The batter should be thick and not runny.
Step II
- Heat the non-stick tava / pan. Once the pan is hot, on a medium flame add laddle full of batter and spread it evenly with your fingers or back of laddle to form medium thick dosa. Cover it with a lid. (If you find this difficult then feel free to cook mini dosas)
- Once its starts becoming golden brown flip and cook on the other side till its roasted and golden brown in color.
- Repeat the process for remaining batter.
- Sabudana Dosa is now ready. Serve hot with spicy tomato curry.and enjoy.
Tip:
- I have not added any oil while cooking dosas. Feel free to add butter / oil if desired.
- Vary the amount of green chilies as per your taste.
- Flour is added mainly for binding. WHile preparing for fasting or vrat, use the flour you can eat on that day like singhare ke atta (chestnut flour)
- You can use lemon juice instead of yogurt to taste.
- Semolina or Sooji can be skipped and mashed potatoes be added to make traditional sabudana thalipeeth.
