Ingredients
Dosa Batter
- 1 cup Lentils black, split black lentils
- 3 cup Rice
- 1/4 cup Chickpea split chickpeas
- 2 tbsp Fenugreek Seeds
- 2 tbsp Flattened Rice flattened rice, thick
Other Ingredients
- 1 tsp Clarified Butter for each dosa, or butter/oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Soak the urad dal, rice, fenugreek seeds, and poha in enough water for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the grains to soften and begin fermentation.
- Grind the soaked ingredients with enough water to form a very smooth paste. Be careful not to add too much water, as this will make the batter too thin.
- Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours. Ensure the container is large enough to accommodate the batter as it rises during fermentation.
- Add salt to the fermented batter and mix well.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Once the griddle is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center. Quickly spread the batter thinly with the back of the ladle in a circular motion, working outwards from the center. Spreading quickly prevents the batter from sticking and ensures a crispy dosa.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of ghee or oil over the dosa and around the edges.
- Cook the dosa over medium heat until it turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the dosa from the griddle and serve immediately with coconut chutney, sambar, or your preferred side dish.
