Cabbage Sanna Polo is one of the variety of dosas prepared in Konkani cuisine. ‘Sanna’ means small and ‘Polo’ means dosa in Konkani vocabulary. Konkani cuisine is varied among different regions such as Karnataka, Goa, Konkan coastal etc. You will variety of dosas made with lentils, watermelon rind, cucumber and what not!

Even though it’s called as ‘Dosa’, it neither has runny batter nor it’s eaten for breakfast. It’s more like a snack or a side dish served with meals like Dal Rice. Earlier I have shared no onion no garlic Konkani Dal recipe – Dalithoy, these taste best when served with Dalithoy and rice.
