Vella dosai recipe, Jaggery dosai

Vella dosai | Jaggery dosai recipe, easy to make instant dosa recipe with step by step pictures. I love vella dosai, i tasted it for the first time after marriage at one our relatives house. Later when i moved to Singapore one day i suddenly remembered the vella dosai and attempted to make it at home. But it was a flop show. I couldn't get the perfect measurements and so the dosai got struck to the pan. Later i left that idea and moved on. I have posted Vella adai and it turned so well.
Few months back when our instagram friend Madhu posted about her grand mom's vella dosai with measurements, i noted down the measurements. Yesterday while going through the old notes in my phone, i saw this Lachu patti's version of Vella dosai. I want to share the recipe of no fail, instant vella dosai recipe today.
