Bath Dosa - Dosa Stuffed With Variety Rice

BATH DOSA
Lemon Bath Dosa is a popular street food in Namma Bengaluru. It is also served at many Dosa Camps and restaurants in the city. This reminds me of seven year old A who was a very fussy eater.  If at all she ate some food with relish it was Dosa. So it was Dosa for breakfast ! Dosa for school lunch box ! Dosa for tea ! And Dosa for Dinner ! That too she ate only one Dosa per meal with a spoon of Molaga Podi and ghee ! Her mother was greatly concerned about her food and nutrition. After much thought she started serving Dosa rolls to the little brat. Rice, dal and vegetables which the child refused to eat otherwise were stuffed into a Dosa and served as a Dosa Roll which she thoroughly enjoyed ! 
Sharing my recipe of Bath Dosa with the goodness of vegetables and spice. This recipe was published in Aval Kitchen magazine dated 1st June 2018. The pictures were clicked by my nephew Pranav Calapatti.
