Either we get dosa batters from markets or pre-make them at home. The pre-prep often leaves us with leftover dosa batter. Analysing everybody’s appetite exactly is quite unrealistic. But, instead of wasting the dosa batter, we can make a variety of delicious dishes out of it. So, to avoid unnecessary food wastage we got you five quick, and easy recipes that you can make with the dosa batter.
1. Appe
