Sabudana Dosa is a light and crispy vrat dosa or upvas dosa from South Indian cuisine. It’s made using soaked sabudana (sago), semolina, coconut, and simple spices, resulting in a crisp exterior and a soft interior. A similar version is also made in Karnataka, where it’s known as Sabakki Dosa. The quick batter makes it a great alternative to regular South Indian dosas—perfect for those who want to try new sabudana dishes or enjoy Indian dosa recipes.

  • After 2 hours, drain any excess water from the soaked sabudana. (Optional: For a smoother dosa, you can lightly pulse the soaked sabudana in a blender before mixing.)

  • Gradually add a little water to create a thick dosa batter consistency.

Step 3: Cook the Dosas

  • Heat a dosa tawa or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter in the centre. 

  • Gently spread it outwards in a circular motion to create a round dosa. Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges.
