Plain Dosa :

Dosa recipe is most popular in south India and can be enjoyed with Chutney or Sambhar.

Minapappu (Urad Dal)                            :    1 Cup

Biyyam(Raw Rice)                                 :    2 Cups 

Menthulu( Fenugreek Seeds)                 :    4-6

Oil                                                        :     For frying



Method for Dosa batter :


1. Soak Minapappu(Urad dal) and Biyyam(raw rice) for 3-4 hours separately .

2 . After 3-4 hours grind dal into smooth consistency by adding enough water  

3. Repeat the same with soaked rice along with soaked fenugreek and bengal gram dal too grind into smooth batter.

4 . Combine both and let it ferment for 7-8 hours . 


Method for Dosa  :

1.  Now once the dosa batter is ready after fermentation add salt to the batter and enough water to get the correct consistency . The batter shouldn't be too watery.

2 .  Heat dosa pan and grease lightly with oil or ghee with help of onion piece. 

3 .  Pour the batter in centre of the pan using laddle or a small bowl and spread the batter using the the same into round shape. Don't spread too thin it should be more or less evenly thick as we are not making crispy dosas.

4 .   Add a little oil or ghee to the edges of dosa and few drops on the top as well.

5 .  Now the edge of dosa starts coming off if you have greased the pan sufficiently , so its time to fold and take it off .
