Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Wash the rice and urad dal thoroughly. Add the poha (flattened rice). Soak all three in the buttermilk for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal softness.

Grind the Batter

  • Grind the soaked mixture to a smooth, slightly thin batter. The consistency should be pourable, slightly thinner than regular dosa batter. Add baking soda (if using) and salt. Mix well.

Cook the Dosa

  • Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the tawa with oil.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa. Do not spread the batter too thin; a slightly thicker dosa will result in a softer texture.
  • Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa. Cover the tawa with a lid for about 2 minutes to allow the dosa to cook through. Do not flip.
  • Once cooked, gently slide the dosa onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve

  • Serve your super soft buttermilk dosas hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Buttermilk Dosa

  • For extra soft dosas, use a good quality, freshly made buttermilk. If using store bought, make sure it is not too sour
  • Don't over-grind the batter. A slightly coarse texture contributes to the dosa's unique character.
  • Adjust the consistency of the batter based on your preference and the type of tawa. Slightly thicker batter is best for soft dosas.
  • Don't spread the batter too thin when cooking. A slightly thicker dosa will be softer.

I am a native of Kanyakumari district, brought up in Tiruchirapalli, and settled in Tirunelveli. I started exploring cooking at the age of 15 and learned a variety of recipes from my two grandmothers, friends, aunts, mother, and mother-in-law.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
