Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.25 cup Split black gram flour (Urad dal flour)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek seeds
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil or ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, split black gram flour (Urad dal flour), water, and salt. Mix well until smooth and lump-free.

Step 2

In a mortar and pestle, slightly crush the fenugreek seeds. Add them to the batter and stir to combine. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After resting, stir in the baking soda and adjust the batter to a pouring consistency using additional water if necessary.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, green chili, and coriander leaves. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a few drops of oil or ghee.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, pour a ladleful of batter in the center and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 7

Immediately sprinkle a handful of the onion mixture evenly over the dosa.

Step 8

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on top of the dosa. Cook until the underside turns golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Using a spatula, gently fold the dosa over the onion mixture and serve it hot.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter and onion mixture, serving each dosa fresh and hot.
