Speciality

Dosas

2 cups (360 g) rice, preferably parboiled
1/2 cup (90 g) split and husked urad dal ('dhuli urad')
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi dana)
2 tsp salt
Oil for cooking doshas

Methods/steps

1. Soak rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds together overnight.
   2. Grind these ingredients together to a very smooth consistency.
   3. Add the salt and enough water to make into a dropping consistency, and leave to rise for 5-6 hours, or overnight.
   4. Check consistency of the batter, and if needed, add enough water to make into a smooth pouring consistency.
   5. Heat tava (dosa pan) very hot, splash a little water over it, and with a ladle, immediately pour some batter onto it, spreading it thin, with a circular motion, without pressing too hard. (You will need some practice to get it right).
   6. Lower the heat and dribble a little oil around the edges. When edges start browning a bit, it is almost done.
   7. Turn the dosa around on its back and allow it to cook for a few seconds.
   8. Add desired filling and fold over.
