Ingredients
Bread Base
- 8 slices Bread white
- ½ cup Semolina suji or rava
- 2 tsp Rice Flour
- ½ cup Yogurt curd
Spices & Seasoning
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tbsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Lentils black, split black lentils
- 2 tsp Chillies finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Coriander chopped
Instructions
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices. This ensures a smoother batter.
- In a blender, grind the bread slices into fine crumbs. Then, add the semolina, rice flour, yogurt, salt, and a little water. Blend until a smooth dosa batter forms, similar to a pancake batter consistency. Add more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. This releases their nutty aroma. Add cumin seeds and urad dal, sautéing until lightly browned. Add green chilies and chopped cilantro, sautéing briefly.
- Pour the tempering into the dosa batter and mix well. This infuses the batter with flavor.
- Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot surface and quickly spread it into a thin, circular dosa. Drizzling a little oil around the edges helps achieve crispy edges.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the dosa becomes crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another minute or two until golden brown. The dosa should be cooked through and slightly crisp.
- Serve the hot bread dosa immediately with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra-crispy dosas, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes after mixing. This allows the semolina to absorb moisture, resulting in a crunchier texture.
- If the batter becomes too thick after resting, add a few tablespoons of water or thin buttermilk to reach a pourable consistency.
- Rub a cut potato or half an onion dipped in oil over the hot tawa before pouring each dosa to prevent sticking and add subtle flavor.
- To make bite-sized party appetizers, pour small circles of batter on the tawa and serve the mini dosas with a variety of chutneys or a yogurt dip.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, try fermenting the batter overnight in a warm place. This will also make the dosas lighter and easier to digest.
- Experiment with different fillings! Classic options include spiced potatoes, paneer, or simply a sprinkle of chutney powder. Get creative with your favorite vegetables and spices.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron tawa or griddle for the best results. The even heat distribution will ensure perfectly cooked dosas every time.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover dosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them on a dry skillet or in the microwave until warm and crispy.
