I ate kappa-chemmeen-Tapioca Shrimp masala dosa for the first time from thattukada in Kochi during our last vacation and ever since, I wanted to give it a try.

Notes
Best to use smallest salad shrimp/prawns, like the konju we get back home. If you are using big shrimp then cut it into small pieces.
Using freshly ground pepper and coconut oil enhance the authentic taste and flavor.
While making dosa, using ghee makes dosa smell heavenly and more yummy,however, does not mean you can go ahead with liberal amount of ghee. Use along with oil, just 1/2 tsp of ghee and 1 tsp of oil per dosa and always use melted ghee.
