Culinary Uses

· Instant Dosa mix is used to prepare a popular South Indian delicacy called dosa.
· The procedure involves preparing the batter from the instant dosa mix. The batter is then ladled in small amounts onto a hot greased tawa, where it is spread out into a thin circle and fried with oil or ghee until golden brown. This is the case in a very short time. The dosa may then be folded in half and served or rolled as in a wrap, but in both cases it is cooked on a single side. Alternatively, it may be flipped to cook on the other side and then served.
· The dosa batter can be used to prepare uttapams and masala dosas. Onion, chillies, tomato, coconut or cheese may be added to improve taste and variation.
· They can be stuffed with vegetables, meats and sauces to create a quickly prepared meal

How to store

Store the mix in an airtight container and keep it in a cool dry place. The unopened mix powder stays good for about six months at room temperature and can be conveniently used in the preparation of dosa at any time
