But we can also use store bought rice flavour which makes this very instant.

We can use raw rice or parboiled rice. Only rice itself is enough but Poha/aval gives a nice soft texture to the dosa. Also adding spices like cumin, red chilli powder along with coriander leaves give much more wonderful flavor to the dosa. This Thakkali Dosa tastes much yummier with Coconut Chutney, Idli Podi or Sambar.
