Sanna PauLo

 
Saanna PauLo is a typical konkani dish. PauLo means dosa in konkani. However, it is not eaten during breakfast/snack time like we eat the regular dosa. It is infact  a side dish which goes well with DaaLi toi(Konkani style dal) and rice in lunch. Before trying this recipe make sure you have soaked dal and rice in water for about an hour or two. The preparation time taken for saanna pauLo is what makes it a jhatpat recipe.
