Why Kalikanji Dosai?
Kalikanji dosai is prepared with raw rice/ Sona masoori rice. If you are running out of idli rice this is one great option. Koozh dosai is prepared without any urad dal and since the main ingredient is just raw rice, dosai can be made with very less soaking time. The best part of kalikanji dosai is it can be prepared without any fermentation. Dosa batter can be easily prepared in mixie and it is a perfect vegan Indian recipe.
My Amma learned this easy kanji does recipe from my Perimma. There are many versions of Koozh dosai. Koozh dosai can be a great one-ingredient dosai recipe and it can be prepared even without the coconut. The kanji (koozh) is enough for the perfect dosa texture but coconut gives a nice flavor to the dish and in our home, we never skip coconut. Coconut Appam is yet another family’s favorite
Being a South Indian, dosai variety is one of the common breakfast recipes at home. Every week at least once or twice dosai comes in repeat mode. If I haven’t planned much for dinner and felt like having dosa this no-fermented rice dosa is best.

After grinding the batter, a small amount of batter with water and coconut oil is made into a koozh and hence kali kanji dosa. It is similar to neer dosa but we don’t make kanji for it.

It is one of the easiest breakfast dishes which we can make quickly.
