Plain dosa is a versatile dish enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it's appreciated not only in South India but also across the Indian subcontinent and worldwide.
Wash the regular and parboiled rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately. Soak them in water for 6-8 hours.
Grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds, soaked flattened rice into a smooth, fluffy batter. Transfer it to a large bowl.
Grind the rice into a slightly grainy consistency. Mix it with the urad dal batter, adding salt.
Cover the bowl and allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or overnight.
Making Dosas:
Heat a non-stick dosa griddle or tava over medium-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water to check if it's hot enough – if it sizzles and evaporates, the griddle is ready.
Pour a ladleful of dosa batter in the center and spread it outwards in a circular motion to create a thin, even layer.
Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden and crisp on the bottom.
Flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side if you prefer a fully cooked dosa.
Serve the dosa hot with the coconut-coriander chutney.
