Serves: 15 dosas
 
Soft, fluffy set dosas, served with Karnataka style mixed veg saagu
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup idli/dosa rice
  • ¼ Cup urad dal
  • ½ Cup avalakki/poha
  • ¼ Tsp menthya/fenugreek/methi
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil to make dosas
Method
  1. Measure out rice and urad dal in separate containers or bowls
  2. Wash them 2-3 times. Add water to soak rice and dal
  3. To the urad dal container add poha and methi seeds. Set aside to soak for 6-8 hours or overnight
  4. Drain water from the dal + poha mixture. Grind with salt to taste. Add some water to grind into a smooth thick batter
  5. Pour this out into a bowl
  6. Similarly drain and grind rice with salt to taste and water into a smooth rice batter
  7. Now pour this into the urad dal batter
  8. Mix both batters well till it becomes an even batter
  9. Let it ferment for 10-12 hours or overnight depending on temperature. Next day, after fermentation, the batter would have become light and airy. See the air bubbles
  10. To make dosas, take a ladleful of batter and pour onto a well heated tawa
  11. Lightly spread into a thick and round dosa
  12. Add a few drops of oil on top. Cover and cook
  13. Once the underside of the dosa turns golden, flip and roast the dosa again
  14. Repeat with all dosas
  15. Serve hot with chutney and veg saagu
Notes
Never make dosas on high heat, make them on medium heat they cook evenly

Cover and cook dosas, for even cooking and soft texture

Do not apply a lot of pressure while spreading dosa batter. Use even circular motion to make dosas, this way they will not stick to the skillet/tawa

Do not spread the dosa very thin

If serving more than 2 people at a time, use 2 skillets/tawas at a time

Add salt only after fermentation if the weather is hot and humid

If grinding in a grinder, after urad dal has ground a bit add rice also along with it. It will grind together into an even batter
