Kalikanji Dosa
Kalikanji Dosa is an instant dosa made using Rice flour batter. We soak the rice just for one hour to make the flour and by adding small quantity of Kanji (Porridge) to it. Since we are adding Kanji to the batter hence it's called Kali Kanji dosa. It's similar to Neer Dosa, but we don't kanji to it. This is a very delicious dosa variety and easy to make.

Kalikanji dosa is a famous dish in down south Tamilnadu. It is a very delicious dosa variety and easy to make. We make kanji out of the rice batter and hence we call it as Kalikanji dosa. For kalikanji dosa, the kanji should be little thick like a koozh with pouring consistency. This kanji will give a little sourness to the dosa as we are not going to keep the batter for fermentation process. We can categorize this dosa as an instant as we are not doing the overnight soaking of rice/dals and it is one of the easiest breakfast dish which we can make quickly.
Side dish for Kalikanji Dosa
We can serve Kali kanji dosa with any chutney or Sambar. I like to serve this dosa with Puli Milagai or simple Milagai Podi. As this dosa will be very mild, the Puli Milagai will provide both tangy and spiciness!.
