For example, here are a few of the Instant Dosa Powders:

1. Plain Dosa Mix

2. Masala Dosa - Plain Dosa Mix can be used for this too

3. Adai Dosa - Lentil Dosa

4. Wheat Dosa

5. Rava Dosa

If you take any one of these a variety of Instant Dosa Recipes can be prepared.

Let us take Adai Mix. This mix has rice and all the pulses in different proportions to make a nice blend and help us prepare delicious "adai".

Take one cup of Adai Mix and add two cups of water - your batter is ready. Everything else including salt and spices are added to the mix.

Now using this Instant Adai Dosa Mix you can prepare...

1. Plain Adai

Just take a ladle full of adai batter, make a circular shape on a flat pan, cook over medium heat, add two tea spoons of cooking oil, flip and cook for haf a minute - and you are done!

2. Onion Adai

Take a ladle full of adai batter, make a circular shape on a flat pan, cook over medium heat, add two tea spoons of cooking oil, sprinkle finely chopped onion on the adai, flip and cook for a minute - and you are done! The onion will get roasted and the adai will get cooked - and the smell will make you hungry :)

3. Carrot Adai

Make adai in the same way as before. This time sprinkle grated carrot before flipping the dosa. This is a healthy nutritious food and good for children and old people too.

4. Cheese Adai

Grate cheese over the adai cooking over medium heat. Fold the dosa before flipping.

5. Green Adai

Take green vegetables such as peas, spinach, curry leaves, coriander, etc. Add them to the adai mix along with the water. Mix well, take a ladle full and make adai as before.

6. Mixed Vegetable Adai

You can add finely chopped pieces of your favorite vegetables to the adai mix along with water and make the adai.

Alternatively you can cook these vegetables with the curry powder and then prepare a sandwich by keeping it between two adais.

Using your imagination and creativity you can churn out a variety of dishes using the plain dosa mix or the adai mix. By adding vegetables we improve the nutritious value of the dish and it becomes a complete meal.

The curry powder adds an exotic taste to the vegetables. The chutney powder is a very tasty side dish that goes with the dosa perfectly.
