Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rice
• 0.5 cups urad dal (split black gram)
• 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium onions
• 10 leaves curry leaves
• 2 whole green chilies
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and urad dal in water separately until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Soak the rice with fenugreek seeds in a large bowl filled with water and urad dal in another bowl, both for at least 4 hours.

Step 3

Drain the soaked urad dal and grind it in a blender with some water to make a smooth, fluffy batter. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Next, drain the rice and fenugreek mixture, and grind it until smooth with some water. Combine with the urad dal batter.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Finely chop onions, curry leaves, and green chilies. Keep them aside.

Step 7

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add curry leaves and green chilies, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Stir the fermented batter gently. If it's too thick, add some water to reach a pouring consistency.

Step 9

Grease a non-stick skillet or tawa with a little oil and heat it on medium-high. Pour a ladleful of batter in the center and spread it outward in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.

Step 10

Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cook until the dosa turns golden and starts to lift off the pan around the edges.

Step 11

Sprinkle the sautéed onion mix over the dosa and gently press it with a spatula.

Step 12

Fold the dosa and serve hot with chutney or sambar as desired.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining batter and onion mixture.
