About

It is an easy, simple, soft, spongy dosa made with semolina, beaten rice, and sour curd or yogurt. Curd Dosa most commonly known as Sponge Dosa is an instant variant of the Set Dosa recipe. It is instant and does not require additional fermentation, soaking, and grounding which makes it super convenient. Typically, it can be served with any type of chutney, but it tastes great when served with spicy curry like kurma and any meat or potato curries. There are many types of curd dosa and sponge dosa but the most common way is to make with semolina and Poha. These 2 dry ingredients are mixed with curd to make a medium-textured dosa batter. The same dosa can also be made with rice flour or idli rava. The texture of the latter can be different and may not be as soft as semolina. In addition, the same dosa can be made with rice and urad dal, but it does require soaking, grounding, and fermentation.
