Vella Dosai-Wheat Flour Jaggery Dosa Recipe-Instant Sweet Gothumai Dosai

August 6, 2014 by PadhuSankar 17 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
My mother used to make this dosa often when I was a kid and I used to love it. Even now I love it very much. Anything with jaggery is my favorite. You can serve this as an after school snack for kids. It can also be served as a breakfast or evening snack. This sweet dosa is made with jaggery, whole wheat flour and rice flour. Jaggery is a rich source of iron and whole wheat flour contains many nutrients and is rich in dietary fiber. Today we will learn how to make sweet dosai or Gothumai/godumai Sweet dosa following our easy recipe with step wise pictures.

7.Once cooked, remove from the tawa and serve hot. You do not need any side dish for this dosa as it tastes good on its own. But if preferred, you can serve with a dollop of butter or cream.

Note -This dosa should be taken hot.

The color of the dosa depends on the color of the jaggery used.

You can use a mix of ghee and refined oil for making this dosa.

If preferred, you can add few chopped cashew nuts and raisins to the batter to make it more delicious.

Left over batter can be stored in the refrigerator. It will stay good for a day.

Though you can make dosa immediately after mixing the batter, if the batter/mixture is left to rest for 2-3 hours, the dosa will be more softer.

    Hi Padhu,
    I saw instant vella dosai and it looks very nice.
    But please clarify why do we need to mix equal proportion of rice powder and wheat powder for vella dosai.
    At home I make with only wheat powder.
    There must be a reason for mixing rice powder.
    Is it to give strength to the dosai.
    Kindly let me know.
    Thanks for the instant vella dosai post.
    Regards
    Mahalakshmi

      Adding rice flour to sweet wheat dosa gives you a little crispness and texture and also it is easy to make dosa when you add rice flour.

      You have many calorie counter online. Just enter the food name and it will give you the calorie count. One plain dosa is 197 calories.
