Woodlands in Chennai has two of the most well known vegetarian restaurants in the city. Its restaurants witness patrons of all age groups queuing up to feast upon their south indian delicacies.
Recently I went to woodlands for a meal after a very long time only to notice that they had revamped their menu to introduce a variety of dishes. One such item was Spring Roll Dosa. [For the uninitiated, dosa is a thin pancake made from fermented rice batter.] I ordered it and as i was waiting impatiently for my dosa, i kept thinking what it could be – dosa stuffed with fried spring rolls or spring rolls made with dosa batter. To my surprise, what came was something totally different from what i had expected, it was dosas stuffed with vegetable filling used in spring rolls.
Today i will be sharing the recipe of spring roll dosa. All mommies – i think this is a good way to make your children have vegetables.
