    In Tamil Nadu is it usually served along with Vada Curry. It is very soft and so can be called Sponge Dosa. It is usually carried during travel and served along with Puli Chutney(I will share the recipe soon).

    If you are using the batter for only 1 or 2 days you can add curd while preparing the batter, otherwise, you can skip adding curd. As adding curd gives nice pours dosa but may turn the batter sour if used for more days. Now let's see how to prepare Set Dosa.
