MASALA DOSA
Dosa is a typical dish in South Indian cuisine, eaten for breakfast or dinner, and is rich in carbohydrates and protein.Here's my mom's awesome masala dosa recipe !!
Dosa Batter Ingredients:
- 2 cups Rice
- 3/4 cup Urad Dal
- 1 fistful Bengal gram
- 1 fistful seeme akki(sago)
- 2 tsp Methi /fenugreek Seeds
- 1 tsp (Ghee+Oil) mixed for each dosa
- Salt as per taste
- Soak Urad dal, rice, methi seeds and sago with enough water overnight.
- Grind the soaked ingredients with enough water to a smooth paste in a grinder;Make sure the batter is not too watery!
- Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8-10 hours; Make sure the container has enough room for the batter to rise else the batter will overflow due to fermentation!
- Add salt to the fermented batter and mix well.
- Place a non stick Tava on medium heat.Once hot, pour a ladle full of batter at the center; With the back of the ladle, spread the batter thinly; Start from the center and work outwards, in a fast circular motion; Note: Spread the batter as soon as you pour it on the tava; The batter will start getting cooked other wise and stick to the tava and makes it difficult to spread the batter evenly!
- Pour few drops of ghee/oil all over the dosa and also at the edges; Let cook on medium heat until it turns golden brown in color.
