I now prefer ice cream to cakes on my birthday. I love cakes but for some odd reason, I’ve morphed into ice creams. Ice cream cakes are a good compromise.

However this is an easy version and only takes a couple of minutes to pull together (plus a bit of chilling time in the fridge)....

Ok, so lets get this straight. The girl who makes creamy chicken pies, crispy fish burgers, enormous pasta bakes and desserts at 1385 calories per serving has turned into a health-food eating, gym going ninja? That would be no.

What is Instant Dosa? Traditionally dosa batter is prepared with rice and split black gram lentils that are soaked for 6-8 hours. They are then ground into batter and fermented for another 12 hours.
