Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Parboiled rice
• 0.5 cups Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat ghee
• 0 as needed Oil spray or brush

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and soak the parboiled rice and urad dal with fenugreek seeds in separate bowls with enough water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain the rice and dal mixtures, and reserve the water.

Step 3

In a blender, grind the rice until smooth, adding reserved water as needed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Similarly, grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds until smooth and fluffy, using reserved water as needed. Combine with the rice batter in the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Mix the batter thoroughly and add salt. Cover and let it ferment in a warm place for 8 to 12 hours until it rises and exhibits a slight sour aroma.

Step 6

Once fermented, stir the batter gently. If it's too thick, add a little water to reach a pourable, yet thick consistency.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil spray or a brush.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the tawa and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a small amount of low-fat ghee (about half a teaspoon) around and over the dosa.

Step 10

Cook until the dosa appears golden and crisp around the edges, then gently lift it off the tawa. No need to flip, as the dosa is cooked thin for crispness.

Step 11

Repeat the process for the remaining batter, serving each dosa hot as soon as it's cooked, possibly with coconut chutney or sambar.
