Though traditionally the dish is from South India and a staple breakfast food which is VERY famous there but now it’s very popular all over India and every state has their own twist to the friendly dosa. 😉 Among all the dosas I have ever tried I liked the podi dosa and masala dosa the MOST. 🙂  Though every state has their own touch to the most famous masala dosa but I like the original South Indian masala dosa. 🙂

I can eat dosa every alternate day and still not be bored if you promise to make me one. 😉 To me, making dosa used to be a tough task because you need to start a day or two before. But once you are done with the batter making it’s so convenient to have that homemade dosa batter in your fridge. A big help for those days when you are really tired or not in a mood to cook elaborated meal or you are running short of time.

I always had on my mind to post this dosa batter recipe but the lazy me was too lazy to did so. 😛 But finally this Friday while my husband was busy in making dosas I got the chance to write this dosa batter post. 😀 Thanks to him. 😛 Do try this recipe to get perfect crispy dosas and let me know your feedbacks. 🙂

Recipe:

Step 1- Wash rice thoroughly with water and soak overnight in a bowl. Wash urad dal, fenugreek seeds and chana dal together and soak them together overnight

Before grinding the soaked rice and dal soak thick poha for 15-20mins separately

Step 2- Add the soaked rice and poha to the grinder with little water and grind to a thick and smooth paste. Remove in a large bowl

Step 3- Grind the dal with water as needed and grind to a smooth and fluffy and bubbly paste. Add this mixture to the rice paste. Add salt and mix well using your hands

Keep this batter in a warm place and leave overnight. It will take time to ferment depending upon the weather

Step 4- Heat a dosa pan/ tawa until hot enough and grease with few drops of oil. Sprinkle some water. Pour a scoop of dosa batter and spread it evenly in a circular shape

Step 5- Drizzle some oil and let it cook until crisp golden brown. Flip and cook from both the sides if you like. And remove on a plate

Serve with chutney and sambhar. 🙂
