Maragenasu dose or tapioca dosa recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Mara genasina dose is a very easy, healthy and tasty breakfast recipe. Mara genasu dose or tapioca dosa is prepared using soaked rice, chopped tapioca, curry leaves, coriander leaves, red chili, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida and salt.
Mara genasina dose or tapioca dosa is familiar by different names like tapioca dosa, cassava dosa, kappa dosa, maravalli kilangu dosa etc., Preparing tapioca dosa is very easy. I have added chili and spices. You can make it plain as well. To make plain tapioca dosa grind rice, chopped tapioca and little coconut.
I learnt this recipe from my friend Manjula. You can find many dose recipes on this website.
I get plenty of tapioca here. However this is my first post using tapioca. I like to cook and eat tapioca with crushed chutney prepared using greenchili, onion, salt and oil. It's super tasty and is very popular here. I will try to post the recipe in the coming days..
Using coconut is optional and I have not used. If you want you can add coconut while grinding the batter. Tapioca dosa can be served along with butter and coconut chutney.
