Gud ka dosa is an instant sweetened dosa like dish that can be prepared quickly . So that makes it a perfect recipe to prepare when you are in a hurry.It also makes a decent breakfast, different from the usual things we have. When I was a kid, My mum used to make it for me whenever I felt hungry and did not want to have those regular meals.So, I am sure the kids are going to love it. You too won’t mind preparing it for them as it takes very less time and can be prepared with simple ingredients that are easily available in a kitchen.

Heat 1 cup water,dissolve jaggery in it.When it dissolves completely ,strain the solution.On cooling add rest of the ingredients and make a batter having thick consistency.On nonstick pan pour a ladleful of batter.Spread it in circular manner.Spread some ghee on the edges.Flip from both the sides...roast till crunchy....
Note: Temperature is the key factor in the above recipe.If the pan is too hot or too cold,the batter may contract....so keep the pan on medium flame always...
