Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1/4 cup Corn Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Milk
- Tbsp Water as needed
For Cooking
- Coconut Oil for the pan
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, corn flour, and salt.
- Add the coconut milk and gradually whisk in about 1 1/2 cups of water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be thin enough to spread easily but not too watery.
- Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan or tawa over medium heat. A well-seasoned cast iron pan works beautifully too.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin crepe. Using the back of the ladle in a spiral motion works well.
- Drizzle a little coconut oil around the edges of the dosa. This helps create crispy edges.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside turns golden brown.
- Flip the dosa and cook the other side for about a minute until lightly golden. The second side cooks much faster.
- Serve the hot, crispy dosa immediately with your favorite sambar and chutney.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra-crispy dosas, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes before cooking. This allows the flours to hydrate fully and improves texture.
- For a more savory flavor, mix finely chopped curry leaves, green chilies, or grated ginger directly into the batter before cooking.
- To prevent sticking and achieve lacy edges, use a well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick pan, and wipe it lightly with coconut oil between each dosa.
- Leftover dosas can be wrapped in a clean kitchen towel and reheated on a hot pan for a minute on each side to restore their crispness.
Expert Tips
- For perfectly round dosas, use a ladle to pour the batter onto the hot pan in a circular motion, starting from the center and working outwards.
- Experiment with different fillings! Dosas can be filled with anything from spiced potatoes and onions to paneer or chutney.
- If your batter is too thick, add a little water or plant-based milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover dosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
