Ingredients

• 1 cup urad dal (black gram lentils)
• 0.5 cup moong dal (split green gram)
• 0.5 cup toor dal (pigeon peas)
• 0.5 cup brown rice
• 0.5 cup quinoa
• 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the urad dal, moong dal, toor dal, brown rice, and quinoa under running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Soak all the dals, brown rice, and quinoa together with fenugreek seeds in ample water for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Drain the soaked mixture and transfer it to a blender. Add 2 cups of fresh water and blend until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. It should be pourable but not too thin.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add the salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Cover the bowl loosely and let the batter ferment in a warm place for about 8 hours or until it has doubled in volume and has a slightly bubbly appearance.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or a dosa tava over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease it with oil using a paper towel or small brush.

Step 7

Ladle a small amount of the fermented batter onto the center of the skillet. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a dosa approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges start lifting and the bottom turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side, until golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.
