Poha Dosa (Atukula dosa)
Posted by Madhavi on November 6, 2006
sabudan, rice, poha and urad dal
This is one of my favourite type of dosa. Poha dosa (atululu dosa in andhra) is so soft, it just melts in your mouth. Unlike other dosas this one is little thick and soft in texture. The soft ness comes from the poha and sabudan. When ever i make this dosa it reminds me of my home town nellore – during my summer vacation i used to visit my family in nellore and my atta (aunt) used to make different types of dosas for me. In the evening’s pretty much every single day i used to buy this poha dosa, we call it rupayi dosalu (one rupee dosa).
Ingredients:
- Rice- 3 cups
- Poha (atukulu)- 3/4th cup
- Urad dal (minna pappu)- 1/4th cup
- Pearl sago (sabudan)- 1 tbsp
Procedure:
Soak all the above ingredients in water for good four hours. In a mixer grind them to a smooth paste, add salt and let the batter ferment overnight.
Take a non stick pan, pour some batter not spreading it too much. It should be little thick, as its shown below. Add some oil, close the lid and cook for a minute and then flip the other side.
Serve the dosa with some ghee, peanut chutney and potatoe curry.

Hello Madhavi,
Had water in my mouth after seeing it.
The recipe looks very appealing
Before trying it,I would like to know what kind of rice to use….can we use either sona masoori or ponni parboiled rice and kindly let me know if there is another rice to be used in this recipe.
Thanks…waiting for your reply,
Meenu.
Madhavi said
Hi Meenu,
you can use sonamasoori rice for this dosa. I have never used parboiled rice, so not sure how it turns out. I have also used a combination of basmathi and carolina rice.( 1 cup basmathi and 2 cups carolina rice). It comes out pretty good.
carolina rice is found in any american supermarkets, and also at costco and BJ’s.
Let me know how it turns out.

Hi Madhavi….

Hope u can do this favor to me….
Right now i am out of town. Prob i cant put a pic right now.
I think already have the pic of sabudan (sabiyamu in telugu) in the poha dosa recipe.

I don’t quite understand; what is the liquid part of the recipe? Do you drain the ingedients before blending? I am trying to learn to make dosas and they are proving more challenging than crepes.
I really appreciate you trying to make dosa emily! I don’t exactly measure how much water i add.
The procedure is:
First take all the ingredients in a large bowl, and add water to soak the ingredients.
Approximately for 1 cup of ingredients add 1 3/4th cup of water and soak for 4 hrs
Now grind to a smooth paste and add the salt.
If u feel the batter is too thick add some more water. Let it ferment for atleast half a day before making the dosa.
I hope it helped.
Let me know how it turns out.
