Instructions

1

Wash rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately. Soak rice and dal+fenugreek in separate bowls with enough water for 4-6 hours.

2

Drain water and grind rice to a slightly coarse batter. Grind dal to a smooth, fluffy batter. Mix both batters together with salt.

3

Cover and let batter ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or overnight until it doubles in volume and becomes slightly sour.

4

Heat a cast iron griddle or non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Stir fermented batter gently (don't deflate completely).

5

Pour a ladle of batter in center and quickly spread outward in circular motion to form a thin crepe. Drizzle oil/ghee around edges.

6

Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden (1-2 mins). Flip if desired and cook briefly. Fold and serve hot with chutney and sambar.

Chef's Tips

  • Fermentation Tip: Keep batter in oven with light on for consistent warmth during cold weather.
  • Crispy Secret: Use ice water while grinding for extra crispiness.
  • Batter Storage: Fermented batter lasts 2-3 days refrigerated - stir before use.
  • Variation: Add finely chopped onions or green chilies to batter for onion dosa.
  • Serving Suggestion: Always serve dosa immediately after cooking for best texture.
