Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white rice uncooked
  • ⅓ cup Urad Dal
  • 1 tablespoon Chana dal
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee

Instructions
 

Soaking

  • Wash the rice, urad dal, chana dal, fenugreek seed under running water until the water runs clear
  • Soak everything in water for 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight

Grinding

  • Drain the water and grind soaked items into a smooth paste using a wet grinder or a high-speed blender

Fermentation

  • Cover the bowl containing the batter and let it ferment in a warm place for 24 hours or preferably overnight
  • During fermentation, the batter should develop a slightly sour aroma.

Make dosas

  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron dosa tawa (griddle) over medium heat
  • Once hot, sprinkle a few drops of water on the tawa. If it sizzles and evaporates quickly, the tawa is ready
  • Add salt to taste and mix the batter well
    1 teaspoon Salt
  • Take a ladleful of dosa batter and pour it in the center of the tawa
  • Quickly spread the batter in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin, even layer
  • Drizzle some oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa
  • Cook the dosa for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift off the pan and the bottom turns golden brown
  • Flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it's cooked through and lightly crispy

Serving

  • Serve hot dosas immediately with coconut chutney, sambar, or any other accompaniments of your choice. Here I am serving it with erra karma (Red Onion Chutney)

Notes

  1. If it doesn't ferment, let it sit in a warm place for a longer time.
  2. One spoon dosa batter weighs
