Sponge Dosa Recipe | Curd Dosa Recipe | Set Dosa Without Urad Dal with detailed photo and video recipe. Basically, an easy dosa or pancake-crepe recipe prepared with curd, and semolina with a porous and spongy texture. It is an ideal breakfast recipe but not limited to, that is traditionally served with chutney recipes,veg sagu, potato sagu,and sambar. Unlike the other popular dosa types, which are crisp and crunchy, curd dosa carries a soft and spongy texture hence the name.

Dosa recipes are always a special recipe for me and my family. Especially hailing from South India, our breakfast mainly circles around idli, dosa,chutney,and sambar. However, preparing just masala dosa or plain idli can be monotonous especially if it is made daily. We all need variety in our breakfast options. One such great option is sponge dosa or curd dosa and even better because it does not require urad dal. Moreover, it does not require any additional soaking, fermentation and grounding. Hence it can be prepared within minutes. Just semolina and flattened rice and mix it with curd to ferment it. Isn’t it an economical and thrifty recipe for dosa? I suppose so.

Furthermore, I would like to share some tips and tricks for a soft and porous curd dosa recipe. Firstly, do not forget to add thin Poha while preparing the dosa batter. Poha helps to make dosa soft and spongy and also hastens the fermentation process. Secondly, after pouring the dosa batter into the dosa pan, no need to spread it with a spoon. The batter should spread by itself, otherwise, your batter is thick if it does not spread. In addition, you could use a nonstick pan compared to cast iron. Lastly, you can add a tsp of ghee or oil while frying dosa. However, personally, I wouldn’t say I like it and I have not added it.

About Curd Dosa

It is an easy and simple soft spongy dosa made with semolina, beaten rice, and sour curd or yogurt. Basically, Curd Dosa most commonly known as Sponge Dosa is an instant variant of the Set Dosa recipe. It is instant and does not require additional fermentation, soaking, and grounding which makes it super convenient. Typically, it can be served with any type of chutney, but it tastes great when served with spicy curry like kurma and any meat or potato curries.

There are many types of curd dosa and sponge dosa but the most common way is to make with semolina and Poha. These 2 dry ingredients are mixed with curd to make a medium-textured dosa batter. The same dosa can also be made with rice flour or idli rava. The texture of the latter can be different and may not be as soft as semolina. In addition, the same dosa can be made with rice and urad dal, but it does require soaking, grounding, and fermentation.
