My mother shared this recipe with me and it only takes 10 minutes to prepare the batter for the popular Konkani breakfast dish, Maida Phanna Polo, where Phanna refers to seasoning and Polo means dosa. This dosa is very easy to make, it’s a perfect breakfast item for busy mornings.

1
In a bowl, combine All Purpose Flour, chopped green chilli, grated ginger, grated coconut, jaggery and salt.
2
Mix well and add water to form a lump-free batter with a slightly watery consistency. You can add about 1 and 3/4 cups of water.
3
Mix in the seasoning: heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once the seeds start spluttering, add curry leaves and turn off the heat. Pour this mixture into the batter and stir to combine.

Heat a nonstick or iron griddle/tawa until hot. Ladle the batter onto the griddle, leaving tiny holes for a lacy pattern. Sprinkle with a little oil.
5
Cook until crispy and transfer to a plate. Serve hot.
