Toor dal dosa recipe | Thuvaram paruppu dosai – No fermentation easy dosa recipe – Toor dal dosai with full video and step-by-step pictures.

Dosai is a staple breakfast in South Indian cuisine. Usually, we soak and grind rice and urad and ferment it and make dosa. This is the traditional way of making dosai and I have posted the recipe for Crispy dosa recipe in Jeyashris kitchen too.

Apart from the traditional dosa, we have many varieties of Instant dosa and no fermentation dosa too. I recently bought a pack of Toor dal, which is not cooking well, even after giving many whistles in a pressure cooker. I tried pre-soaking it too, but I am not satisfied. So I am using it for making Paruppu usili, paruppu podi. Recently a friend shared that she makes Toor dal dosa, it sounded interesting to me. So thought of giving it a try. Initially, I felt, it must be like adai only, but it tasted more like a combo of dosai and adai.

If you do not have time to ferment or if you are living in a cold place, you can try this during winter, as it doesn’t need to be fermented. Try out this protein-rich, no fermentation needed Toor dal dosa recipe.
