Tapioca Adai Dosa / Spiced Tapioca Crepes

    Getting nostalgic is something that happens to me at times, may be the smallest of things really make me travel all the way back home to the good old childhood days. As kids my brother and myself were pampered a lot by our maternal grand parents. All our smallest of the wishes were even granted, but as kids we were more into playing with cousins than spending time with our grand parents and i really do regret doing so. But still, we loved them a lot, i never missed a chance to sleep with my ammama ( grand mother ), she used to tell me stories every single day and i would lay by her side hugging her tight, how i loved being a girl !!!

Well, this is a long lost recipe that is not pretty much used nowadays. I had a chance to taste this dosa from my in- laws place, and i guess the best kind of i have had. My grandmother used to make Puttu ( Steamed Rice Cake ) from Dried ground tapioca powder, never thought even dosa is made out of these.
