Cornmeal dosa

Cornmeal or polenta (as it is called in UK) is coarse flour of corn. Corn meal dosa is a nice variation to traditional dosa and can be prepared easily and instantly. It doesn’t require prior preparation or fermentation as in traditional dosa. Goes well with any chutney and can be served for breakfast or dinner.
