As I continue on my quest for practical and delicious keto recipes, here is another nugget I have unearthed. Keto dosa or savoury keto crepes that taste as good as the authentic dosa, if not better.
Dosa is a very popular South Indian dish made from raw rice and black gram dhal. This ketogenic version of dosa uses almond flour, mozzarella cheese and coconut milk.
This thin keto crepe or pancake opens up a whole new world of possibilities for those on a ketogenic diet – sandwiches, pizza, burritos, tacos, nachos, use them to layer lasagnas…the variety is limited only by your imagination.

Note: the recipe is best followed as it is. But you can still make the following substitutions is you wish.
