Crispy Plain Dosa






Ingredients:
  • 1 cup rice 
  • 1/4 cup black gram /urad dal
  • 3 Tbsp toor dal
  • 1 tsp methi seeds/fenugreek seeds
  • 1/4 cup beaten rice/avalakki
  • Salt - to taste 
Method:
  • Soak urad dal and rice for couple of hours and make a fine paste of the mixture adding water.
  •  Prepare the batter by adding a pinch of salt to taste and mix all the ingredients well. Do not make the batter too thin.
  •  Allow the mixture to ferment for about 6 to 7 hours.
  • Heat a non stick flat tawa for 10 minutes on a low flame. Pour one tsp of oil on the tawa. Spread the oil evenly with a sliced onion. 
  •  Sprinkle little water so that excess heat is absorbed.
  • Pour dosa batter and gently spread the batter with a circular motion from the centre towards the sides of the tawa .
  •  Add oil through the dosa circumference so that it seeps in from all the directions.
  •  As soon as you can spot golden colour through the sides and the middle of the dosa, take a flat ladle (or a wooden thin spatula) and instead of flipping it just roll it over from one end to the other/ make a cone shape...










      • Heat a little oil in a pan and spread the dosa batter over it.
      • Pour oil around the dosa and fry well.
      • And flip it over. Cook the other side and remove from pan.
      • Serve with  chutney/ sambar.
