Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice
• 1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0 as needed Water
• 0.25 cup Dairy-free ghee alternative
• 0.25 cup Oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and urad dal well. Soak the rice and fenugreek seeds in one bowl and the urad dal in a separate bowl for 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain the rice and blend with fenugreek seeds and just enough water to make a smooth batter. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3

Drain the urad dal and grind to a smooth batter with minimal water. Mix with the rice batter.

Step 4

Add salt to the batter and mix well. Cover and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume.

Step 5

Once fermented, stir the batter gently. Add more water if needed to achieve a pouring consistency.

Step 6

Mix the dairy-free ghee alternative with oil in a small bowl.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick or cast-iron tava (griddle) on medium-high heat. Grease lightly with oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the tava and spread it in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a teaspoon of the ghee-oil mixture around the edges and over the dosa.

Step 10

Cook until the edges start lifting and become golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for a few seconds.

Step 11

Remove from the tava and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 12

Serve the dairy-free ghee roast dosa hot with chutney and sambar.
