I tagged it under "Kids Special" because my elder son who is 2 years enjoys the sight of dosa making.Not only that he loves dosa more than any other food
Step 1 - Making Batter
Hot Plain Dosa is ready.Serve it along with Ridge Gourd Thogayal or any other chutney / Tiffin Sambar
There are many formulations to make crispy dosa batter.But for me this worked out better hence posting it in the blog
Ingredients
- Par boiled rice / Puzhungal arisi - 2 1/2 cups
- Raw rice / Pachai arisi - 1 1/2 cups
- Urad dhal - 1cup
- Methi seeds - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - as needed
- Oil / Ghee / Butter - for making dosas
Step 1 - Making Batter
- Wash and soak both types of rice, dhal and methi seeds together atleast for 8 hours
- Drain the water from soaked mixture and keep it aside
- Take the soaked items little by little in a mixer jar and grind it a smooth batter (add drained water also) using ice water
- Transfer this batter to a big vessel / container and add salt.Mix well using clean palm and fingers
- Let it ferment atleast for 4-6 hours
For detailed information about soaking and grinding refer to Kudhiraivaali Arisi Dosai Batter
Step 2 - Making Dosas
- Take required quantity of dosa batter in a small container / vessel.Dilute it with water if needed
- Heat a non stick / iron dosa tawa.For iron tawa refer the link before commencing dosa preparation
- Pour on a ladle of batter on to the center of tawa and spread the batter in circular motion using the backside of ladle
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil / ghee / butter around the edges of dosa
- After a minute or so you will be able to notice brown crust around the edges as seen in the pic below
- Turn it around using a dosai thirupi and allow the other side to be cooked
