Thengai Dosai / Coconut Dosa

Coconut is one freshly available food that is loaded with all richness. Coconut is generally considered a healthy form of fat. Being South-Indian, any Poriyal or thoran is not complete without Coconut in it. While I had plenty of grated fresh Coconut, I decided to make this super soft and flavorful coconut dosa instead of any other sweet. We love our breakfasts and Dinner more than lunch. The ingredients need to make this dosa can be easily found in the pantry. The texture of the dosa is very soft and the flavor is out of the world. you can pair this Coconut / Thengai Dosa with any spicy chutney.
