About Set Dosa Recipe

Set Dosa Recipe | Restaurant style Sponge Dosa Recipe | South Indian Pancakes Recipe with step by step photos and Video:

Set Dosa is very soft, light, and spongy. This is a popular breakfast recipe in Karnataka and especially in Bangalore restaurants. Set dosas are usually served with vegetable saagu, and coconut chutneys.

This is a basic set dosa recipe that can even be used to make dosas without oil on a nonstick tawa. These turn out to be soft, mouth-melting, and spongy with a delicate texture. This is also known as set dose, set dosa recipe, sponge dosa, or South Indian Pancake Recipe.

Urad dal, poha, rice, and fenugreek seeds are the ingredients that are used to make the set dosa batter. To make good set dosa, proper fermentation of the batter is very important otherwise they don’t yield porous and spongy dosa. Fermentation time depends on the climatic conditions or season.

There are many versions on the internet for the recipe of set dosa, but I have tried the recipe of Bengaluru (Bangalore) local hotel recipe and it turned out exactly the same as served in an authentic restaurant.

Set Dosa is always on our breakfast menu with a variety of coconut chutneys. We often try on weekends as this can be a good option for weekend brunch.

We love serving the set dosa along with different types of chutney recipes like Coconut Chutney, Red Coconut Chutney, and Green Coconut Chutney.
