Get Cooking
- Soak the rice, tuvar dal, methi seeds for about an hour or so.
- Grind the soaked ingredients into a smooth idli-like batter.
- Allow fermenting.
- Pour a ladle of fermented batter on a greased heated griddle (tawa).
- Cover and cook the dosa till it turns brown on the underside taking care not to burn it.
- Serve with chutney, sambhar
Tips
The dosa poured onto the griddle must be spread thick like uttapam.
Check if dosa is cooked through by touching the top of the dosa, the batter will not stick to the finger. Take care, you can moisten your finger with water before touching the dosa.
You may turn the dosa over and cook for a minute or so too.
Friends have said they use urad dal instead of the tuvar dal mentioned. This is my grandma’s recipe 🙂
