FAQs
1. Can I use thick poha for this recipe?
It's best to use thin poha (flattened rice) for this recipe. Thicker poha may not cook evenly and result in a tougher dosa.
2. What if I don't have curd/yogurt?
You can substitute the curd with 1-2 tablespoons of milk or even water, but the dosa might be slightly less soft. Curd adds a tangy flavor and helps bind the ingredients.
