Goda Appo/Sweet Dosa

Call it sweet dosa or rice pancakes or whatever. It’s a bit of this and that. It ferments like a dosa and ingredients like rice and fenugreek go into it.  And just like a pancake, eggs go into it. The name goda appo comes from “Gud” that is jaggery and appo, you might know it as “appam”. Crisp from outside and soft on the inside. Spread a tiny bit of ghee and sprinkle sugar and you have a healthy breakfast ready.
