Instructions
 

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Soak the rice in 3 cups of water for 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight.

  • Drain the rice completely. In a blender, combine the drained rice, salt, and ½ cup of fresh water.

  • Gradually add 1½ to 2 cups of water to the batter, mixing well until it reaches a thin, pouring consistency similar to milk.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil. This prevents the dosa from sticking.

  • Give the batter a good stir. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and quickly swirl it to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle. Fill any gaps with a little more batter.
  • Cover the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Covering the pan traps steam and helps the dosa cook evenly.

  • Cook until the edges of the dosa start to crisp and lift away from the pan. The dosa itself should appear slightly lacy.
