Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup regular white rice
  • 1/2 cup urad dal split black gram
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Flattened Rice Soaked

Instructions
 

For Dosa Batter:

  • 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.
