Poha Dosa or Avalakki Dosa recipe with step by step picture recipes - Here's another dosa recipe for you. I tasted this dosa recipe recently when we visit "Tirupati Balaji Temple", this poha dosa recipe is an Andhra speciality and also known as Atukula dosa, they have lots of name.

Prepared this dosa on today's breakfast on the eve of "Independence day", so can't control my hands to share with you all.

This is one dosa which is amazingly soft, spongy, crispy and stays so even after some hours. It's quick, instant and excellent snack for tiffin boxes with some dry chutney and sambar.

Although this dosa requires soaking and grinding and fermenting(but not for overnight), in just few hours you can enjoy the dosa, you can make it as soon as you make the batter.

In fact I love dosa's so much that I usually pair them with tea or juice. When I made the dosa's this time, served with peanut chutney.

I make a lot of recipes with poha for breakfast or evening snacks but only few of them are posted in the blog like veggie poha, poha thepla, poha missi roti and poha chivda.

The method to make poha dosa's is slightly different than the one for regular dosa. Here, poha are soaked in sour curd, then ground with fine sooji (I didn't use any lentils or rice here) and fermented for 4-5 hours.

Let's start making of poha dosa recipe with step by step process with photos.
