Ingredients
Ingredients for Plain Dosa:
- Plain Rice - 1 cup
- White gram dal - 1/4 cup
- Parboiled rice - 1 cup
- Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp.
- Yogurt/ Curd - 1/2 cup
- Soda bicarbonate - 1/2 tsp.
- Water to grind
- Ghee/ oil to fry
Instructions
How to Make Plain Dosa Recipe:
- Wash rice and black gram dal and soak for about 6-7 hours by adding fenugreek seeds
- Drain the soaked water and wash once more.
- Grind to paste, it tastes good if the batter gets smooth grain touch of rice (I mean not too smooth).
- Add salt and soda and mix well and put in a warm place.
- For better results, it needs to ferment for about 8-10 hours.
- Beat/ churn yogurt/curd by adding a little water and add this to the plain dosa batter.
- This mixture should not be hard, you can add a little water if need and make a concentration which is enough to coat the pan well.
Tip: For thick consistency add little by little water and check by dipping spoon. If batter sticks to spoon, that is our required concentration. Sometimes we may put little more water than required in that scenario we can adjust by adding little rice powder but take care it is not much diluted.
- Heat the nonstick pan and pour one spoon batter and spread throughout the pan making sure it is coated as a thin layer using the reverse of the spoon.
Tip: Start coating the pan from the center. It becomes easy if you take a flat bottomed spoon.
Tip: Start coating the pan only when it is heated, you can test by sprinkling some water.
- Sprinkle ghee or oil on the top so the layer comes up crispy.
