Dosa(Indian Pancake)



Dosa(Indian Pancake)


Ingredients

· 2 cups of sona masoori rice
· 1 cup of idly rice
· ½ cup of udid dal
· ½ cup of chana dal
· ¾ table spoon of methi

Method

For Mixie :Soak the dal and rice separately.
Grind the dal first and then the rice.

For a Grinder : Soak the rice and dal together.


Soak for 6-8 hours. While grinding keep adding 1 table spoon water at regular intervals – about once in every 5 minutes. This is very crucial to get the best batter. You know the batter has turned out correct when it’s very fine and the consistency of the final batter is like cake batter (for those who prepare cakes).
To be exact I would suggest that it is better to measure the amount of water also. For above ingredients you can add 2 and 1/2 cups water. First add 1 cup and the remaining keep adding as the batter absorbs.
This will definitely give you the right consistency. Mix with salt and soda and leave for fermenting about 10-12hrs.
Serve hot with aloo sabji and chutney.
