Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Raw rice
• 0.5 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Curry leaves, chopped
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the raw rice and urad dal under running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds. Add enough water to cover the mixture and soak for 6 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Drain the soaking water and transfer the rice and dal mixture to a blender. Add approximately 1 to 1.5 cups of fresh water and grind to a smooth batter consistency.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and mix well.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the batter ferment in a warm place for about 10 to 12 hours or until it almost doubles in volume and you notice small bubbles on the surface.

Step 6

Once the batter is fermented, stir well. The consistency should be like pancake batter; if too thick, add a little water.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with a few drops of oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Sprinkle a few teaspoons of finely chopped onions, curry leaves, and green chili evenly over the dosa.

Step 10

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on top. Cook until the edges start to lift and become golden brown.

Step 11

Gently flip the dosa and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 12

Remove from the skillet and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
