Ingredients

  • 1 cup dosa rice or sona musuri rice

  • ½ cup paper poha

  • ¼ cup urad dal

  • ½ tsp menthe / fenugreek seeds/ methi

  • salt as needed

  • oil as needed

Directions

  • How to Make Dosa Batter
  • Soak urad dal, rice and poha in a separate bowl.
  • Combine rice and methi seeds and soak it with enough water for at-least 4 hours. Drain the rice along with fenugreek seeds and blend in a mixer. Make sure to make a smooth paste using required water only.
  • Drain and add poha to the same blender to make a smooth paste.
  • Grind along with rice batter. Do not add any extra water. Grind to a smooth thick paste.
  • Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl and keep aside.
  • Drain the urad dal and blend in a mixer. Note that urad dal has to be blended separately.
  • Blend to a smooth paste using 3-4 tbsp of water.
  • Transfer the mixture into the same bowl. Mix the batter well.
  • Cover and ferment in a warm place for 12 hours. If you live in a warmer place, then your fermentation should take place around 8-hour max. If you live in a place with cold climate you would have to place your vessel with the batter in a warm place. Mostly this should be in a pre-heated oven (switch off the oven though). It will give enough heat to keep the temperature steady throughout the fermentation period (mostly overnight). This should take about 10-12 hours.
  • You should see the batter fully fermented and dosa batter should rise in its level.
  • Mix the batter gently.
  • And now add salt to the batter and mix well.

    In addition, add a pinch of baking soda to make your set dosa spongier.
    Finally, add some butter or ghee on top dosa if required.
