Dosas have been my favourite from childhood.But the tedious process involved in making the batter dettered me from making dosas at home.
My aunt ,Lakshmi , who has been in the US for abt 25 yrs now taught me a simple way and I am going to be indebted to her for sharing with me this delicious and fast process in making my favourite dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad dal (For more number of dosas you can have more urad dal, but maintain the proportion of urad dal and rice flour to 1:3
- 3 cups Rice flour
- 2 tbsps methi seeds
- A fistful of Rice flakes/poha
The batter
- Soak the urad dal along with the methi seeds in water overnight.
- The urad dal swells well overnight. The next morning ,grind the dal and methi seeds.While grinding the dal, add a fistful of poha/rice flakes.The poha makes the dosa nice and crisp.
- Once the dal has been ground, add slowly 3 cups of rice flour, stirring it to avoid lumps.Add as much water as you feel to get the desired consistency.
- Leave the batter of rice flour and urad dal to ferment for about 10 hours.
- At times the batter ferments and overflows from the vessel so make sure to keep a plate beneath the container.
- Once the batter has fermented for about 10-12 hours, add salt and water if needed and make delicious crispy dosas on a hot pan or tava.
- Server with sambar and coconut chutney.
