Ingredients
- 2 Cup Basmati Rice
- 1 Cup Toor Lentil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1-2 tbsp Canola Oil
Directions
-
1. Separately wash rice and lentil well with plenty of water. Soak both rice and lentil separately 3-4 hours. Drain water from both. Now, grind dal to a very fine paste. Grind rice till fine grains are left (like very fine semolina). Add a little water if needed. -
2. Mix both rice and dal together after grinding. Add salt and leave for 4-5 hours for fermentation. (Preferably overnight in a warm place.) Additional Notes:
You can also add 1/2 tsp Sodium Bicarbonate to speed up the fermentation process. -
3. Heat the iron griddle. Add 1/4 tsp oil to just coat the griddle. Keep heat on medium high. Pour a spoonful of batter in the centre and quickly spread with the back of the spoon to a thin round. Pour 1/2 tsp oil on all sides of round dosa. This helps to release dosa from griddle without breaking. Turn the dosa and cook on other side on low heat for 2 minutes. Additional Notes:
Before cooking adjust salt to taste and add water (if needed) so that consistency of the batter should be thick enough to thickly coat on a spoon when dipped. -
4. Server it hot with Sambhar or Tomato / Onion chutney. Additional Notes:
Dosa Crepe tastes best when served hot.
Savita's Recipe Notes:
You can make the “Dosa” batter ahead of time and then keep it in freeze to reuse for 3-4 days.© Chef De Home. Post content including video and photos are copyright protected.

Hi @Priya, thanks for visiting ChefDeHome. I always enjoy dosa with quick and famous spicy chutney (staple in every south indian home). I am going to add recipe soon but for you here is the recipe: heat 1 tsp of oil and saute 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp asafoetida, 1/2 cup channa dal and 1/2 cup urad dal and 2 dry red pepper whole until the lentils are slight red. Grind to powder form. to make chutney just mix 2 tbsp of this powder with 1/2 tbsp lemon juice and enjoy with dosa or idli or vada. Happy cooking!!!
