Mushti polo 2

This is the second recipe of Mushti polo in the space and is one of my personal favourite too. Even the kids love it very much that I prepare it atleast once a week these days. This dosa is a keeper. Amma gave me the recipe and I love her traditional recipes anytime. The dosa comes out very light and crisp . It compliments well with thambde (red) chutney .
