recipeIngredient (used american measuring cup, 1 cup = 250 ml)
2 cups old rice
1 cup white urad dal (split black gram)
1 cup organic ragi flour
½ cup yogurt
1 cup water while soaking the rice + 4 tbsp water while grinding
salt as per taste
To make dosas (crepes)
2 tbsp oil
How to make the recipe?
Wash the rice along with urad dal . Soak in 1 cup of water Or add more if required. Soak all of them overnight.
Next day grind them into a smooth batter. Add some salt and little water while grinding them. Now mix the ragi flour along with yogurt. Give a nice whisk ensuring batter is smooth and lump free.
Place the batter into a humid place covered with a lid. Allow to rise to double up it can take about 3 hours Or more. If the weather is hot it will rise up sooner if cold it might take a few more hours. Once it doubles up place them in fridge otherwise the fermentation and rising process will be continued. This might spoil your batter. Check the consistency of batter it shouldn't be too thick Or too thin for dosas.
Take a non stick pan and keep on high heat. Once the pan is hot reduce the heat to medium. Dip a small bowl Or spread the batter gently. Swirl the batter gently in round Or oval shape with the help of spatula. Spread few drops of oil around the edges of batter. Alternatively you could add a tbsp batter and swirl it with the pan holder shaping round.
Cook the dosa from both sides until brown and crispy. If you want soft and fluffy dosas make them like uttappa. I prefer crisp and thin wafer
dosas. Make how much you wanna make. Keep rest of batter into the fridge.
Serve hot dosas with chutney and sambar.
