How to cook banana dosa?
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat.Vegetable oil
- Once the pan is hot, add a ladle full of batter and spread it evenly with your fingers or the back of a ladle to form a medium-thick dosa. (I have added three mini dosas at a time on tava. You can vary the size of the pancake as desired)
- Drizzle oil around the dosa. Cover it with a lid and cook on medium flame until the bottom becomes golden brown.
- Flip and cook on another side for another one or two minutes until it becomes light golden in color. Drizzle oil around the edges if needed.
- Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
- The Banana dosa is ready. Serve hot with butter, ghee, or honey, and enjoy.

Notes
- Vary the amount of sweetness based on the sweetness of the banana.
- You can skip green chilies and ginger if making for kids.
- The amount of water will vary based on the moisture content in the banana.
- Leftover batter can be stored in the refrigerator for a day. Give batter and good mix before cooking dosa.
- Leftover cooked dosa can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
- I have shared the video on how zucchini semolina dosa is made with the same ingredients.
