Sanna Polo is a spicy and savory pan-fried pancake from the Konkani GSB culinary tradition, known for its magnifique coconut and chili punch. It is made from a coarse batter of soaked rice and fresh coconut, often loaded with finely chopped cabbage or onions. Unlike a regular dosa, this is smaller, thicker, and packed with bold textures. It represents the resourcefulness of coastal kitchens where vegetables and coconuts are transformed into a quick and satisfying snack. Serve it hot as a side dish with rice and dal or as a tea-time snack for an authentic Konkani experience.
