POLO(DOSA)
Polo(dosa) is like a pancake and is an excellent breakfast and tiffin varitey. Whether young or old everybody enjoys either a crispy or a soft and fluffy polo. Crispness of polo can also be adjusted depending upon individual taste. With the same batter,soft and thick polos can be prepared. To make paper-like polo use more raw rice for preparing the batter. The proportion is given below.The batter preparation for polo is similar to that of Idli.
Dosa is relished more in its masala dosa avatar. The preparation for a tasty masala dosa would be given in a later post.
The side dishes given under idli for eating it, goes well with polo too.
Ingredients:
Raw rice -3cups,
Boiled rice-1cup,
Urad dal-1cup (for wet grinder), or 1-1/2 cups (for mixer)and
Salt to taste.
Method
The procedure for soaking and grinding of the batter is the same as for idli batter.
Keep the polo Kayli (tawa) on the stove, keeping the burner in medium flame. After the kayli is heated, smear a bit of oil on the surface of kayli. Spread the batter uniformly in a circular shape on the kayli and cover it with a lid until done.
Polo can be prepared with out a lid, for this spread the batter, cook one side for some time and after a few minutes turn it upside down for even cooking.
To make a crisp dosa spread the batter as mentioned above add sufficient oil and cook without lid on a low fame for a longer period. Serve hot.

Hi Purnima,
What a Joy to go thro’ your comments, especially from someone who is a non-Konkani. It is still more satisfying, when the cuisines are tried and savoured on every week ends.
Wishing all of you, all the Best,
Prabha
When you say boiled rice, does this mean cooked rice or is it parboiled rice.
