“Paper Dosa” Recipe

Recipe Cuisine: South-Indian | Recipe Category: Lunch/Dinner
Prep Time: 15-16 hour    | Cook time: 10 mins     | Serves: 2-3

Dosa is most demanding breakfast in every South-Indian restaurant and a popular dish in Indian cuisines. Dosa is usually served with coconut cutney and sambar. Dosa batter is prepared from rice and urad dal, which is usually available in our kitchen. Urad dal is the most nutritious pulse available and rice is already very famous for its easy digestible property. Nowadays, Dosa is very easy to make since we get MTR or Tops “easy mix” in market so it take very less preparation time for batter. But the taste of homemade batter is relatively much better, if you mix in proper proportions. Once Dosa batter is prepared then with little care we can prepare dosa, just as perfect as we get in restaurants.

 Ingredients:

Dosa batter Ingredients:

¾ cup raw rice

¼ cup urad dal(split black lentils)

2 teaspoon steamed rice

½ teaspoon fenugreek seeds(methi)

1 teaspoon oil

¼ cup poha

Salt to taste

Kitchen utensils required:

• 1 Spatula (I prefer: PINDIA Wooden Curved Spoons)
• 8 bowls (I prefer: Borosil Mixing Bowl)
• 1 Mixer-grinder( I prefer: Prestige Hero 550- Watt Mixer Grinder)
• 1 non-stick tava (I prefer: Vinod Cookware Dosa Tava) 
•  1 Water jug

                               Step by step procedure:

Step-1 Wash raw rice, urad dal separately.

Step-2 Soak raw rice and poha in a large bowl for 5-6 hours.
