Dosa |
Masala dosa is my favourite South Indian dish and I relish it it whenever we go to a South Indian food joint.
Making it at home is easy too, it requires little planning.I love my dosas crispy ,topped with some ghee or butter and coconut chutney on side.This is all I need to make myself happy.

Ingredients :
1 cup urad dal
2 cups short grain rice
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds
Salt as per taste
Oil for shallow frying
Directions :
| 1 | Wash dal and rice separately atleast 4 - 5 times.Soak ural dal and fenugreek seeds in water and also rice separately in water for atleast 6 hrs, overnight works the best. |
| 2 | Grind urad dal to a smooth paste and rice to not so fine paste, meaning slightly coarse. |
| 3 | Combine both the batters together to form the dosa batter. |
| 4 | Transfer the batter to a steel container let it ferment for atleast 8 hrs. |
| 5 | Fermented batter becomes fluffy and aerated. Run ladle through the batter and give it a good mix. |
| 6 | Add salt as per taste and mix it well. |
| 7 | Heat griddle on medium heat, once hot apply some oil and pour ladleful batter on the griddle and spread it gently in circular motion to form a nice circle of dosa. |
| 8 | Leave some oil from the sides and put some oil drops on the dosa. |
| 9 | Once the dosa starts leaving from the pan flip it and let it cook on the other side. |
| 10 | Serve with chutney, sambhar or potato bhaji. |
Note :
- Ensure that the griddle is not very hot before you start your next dosa. If the griddle is hot sprinkle some water and let it cool first.
- Places where fermentation is slow due to weather, place batter in a warm place like oven.
- Wild yeast is responsible for fermentation, fenugreek seeds a good source
- for yeast so do not skip adding fenugreek seeds.
