Dosha

                                                                    

  Ingredients

1.                   Rice Flour – 2 cups

2.                   Urad Dal (Uzhunnu Paripuu) – 3/4 Cup

3.                   Salt – 1 tsp

4.                   Baking Soda – 1/4 tsp (Optional)

5.                   Water – As Required

6.                   Oil – As Required

Preparation Method

1.                   Soak Urad Dal in water for at least 2-3 hours.

2.                   Grind dal adding required quantity of water to form a thick paste.

3.                   Mix the rice flour, salt and grinded dal to form a loose batter. You may have to add more water to get the required consistency.

4.                   Keep the batter overnight to ferment.

5.                   You can add a pinch of Baking Soda if you are living in USA or any other cold country. It is better to preheat the oven for a few minutes and then place the batter inside the oven so that it ferments.

6.                   Heat a non stick Tava or griddle and pour one ladle full of batter  and spread it as thin as possible to make thin and crisp dosas. If you are not using a Non Stick Tava, then apply a dab of oil to prevent the Dosa from sticking on to the pan.

7.                   When the edges begin to become crisp (3-4 minutes), flip it over and keep for 2 more minutes.

8.                   You can apply few drops of oil on the edges of the dosa to give it a better taste.

9.                   Serve the Dosa along with sambar or any Chutney of your choice.
