Kuttu Ka Dosa

Who says that vrat ka khana (Fasting food) is either boring or laden with Oil. “Kuttu ka dosa” or “Falahari Dosa” or “Vrat ka dosa” is a great option for those who want to avoid eating Kuttu in fried pooris (puffed indian bread) or pakoris.

These Buckwheat Crepes / Pancakes are instant and gluten-free. As the recipe doesn’t require any soaking and grinding, they require very less time and effort, and all this comes with no compromise on tastes. This recipe produces a crisp buckwheat dosa, and the filling is made of potatoes. It is a good source of protein, iron, zinc.

Aalo Ke Poori
