Beetroot dosa/ Pink dosa is a soft, spongy and delicious dosa prepared by adding beetroot puree to regular dosa batter. Yes the color that you see in the dosa comes from beetroot puree make it super healthy and super appetizing. This beetroot dosa tastes great with any spicy chutney. For this recipe I used cooked beetroot puree (as I don’t like its raw flavor) this way there was no hint if the beetroot flavor but it instead made dosa super soft with a beautiful color. Yes my dosa batter was a very old one almost the last bit and you know dosa turned rubbery or hard with the last batter, and the addition of beetroot puree made dosa turn super soft. I served this dosa with coconut chutney adding extra green chilli to make the chutney spicy and it worked for me. So do try this recipe and let me know your feedback. So let’s get to the making!
