Verum Arisi Dosa

Verum Arisi Dosa is usually prepared in Tamil Nadu and it is an speciality of palakkad region. I had it long back when i visited Tamil nadu and always wanted to try this. Today I made up my mind to prepare this when I got an easy recipe of this from 'rak's kitchen' website. In karnataka plain batter of this dosa is prepared as 'neer dosa'. You can even add drumstick leaves to this to make it more flavorful.
