Dosa and Rice Shavige are popular breakfast dish in every household. This one is an unusual combination of dosa and masala shavige/sevai. The idea was inspired by the variety dosa stall in my street.
There is a 99 variety dosa counter that opens up every evening near by. I wonder how he makes 99 varieties of dosas with just handful of ingredients, plus the dosa batter is common. This man creates mix and match of veggies and masalas and creates tasty dosas (yes I have tried them). And thus this idea of combining rice shavige/sevai upma with dosa originated.
You are in fact preparing 2 complete set of breakfast item and combining into a roll. I added some masala to the dosa batter which combined well with the filling. Shavige upma is a simple preparation. But all in all, this will take a little extra effort and your time, but its worth it. Take a bite of dosa with sevai upma, it might sound a little odd, but definitely tasty and different.
Do this experiment, take a chance. Still, don’t like it ? no problem, you don’t have to starve because you have 2 breakfast items. Enjoy it separately. I still insist, do try 🙂
