Directions

For the dosa batter

• Clean, wash and soak the rice in enough water for at least 3 to 4 hours and also clean, wash and soak the urad dal and fenugreek seeds together in enough water for at least 3 to 4 hours.
• Drain the rice, add the rice flakes, a little water (approx. ¼ cup of water) and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
• Drain the urad dal and fenugreek seeds, add a little water (approx. 1 tbsp of water) and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
• In a bowl add the rice paste and urad dal paste, mix it well and cover it with a lid and allow it to ferment in a warm place for at least 6 to 8 hours.
• After 6-8 hours add ½ cup of water, salt, and besan and mix it well and keep it aside.

How to proceed

• Pour ¼Th of the batter on the greased non- stick tawa (griddle)(refer the tips below) and spread in a circular motion to make a 225 mm. (9") thin dosa.
• Smear 1 tsp of oil over it and cook till the dosa turns brown in color and crisp.
• Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll and place the dosa on a plate and serve it with coconut chutney and sambar.

Tips

1. Before making the dosa grease the non-stick tawa with ¼ tsp of oil and wipe with a slice of onion or potato and sprinkle a little water on it and wipe off using a piece of cloth.
2. Spread a portion of the batter to make a small sample dosa, cook it and discard.
3. This will ensure that the remaining dosa does not stick to the tawa (griddle) and can be cooked.
