Plain Dosa Recipe (Unfermented)


Instant dosa recipeMakes 8-10

Ingredients (Buy locally grown organic ingredients, if possible)

1 cup white or red rice, raw

6 Tablespoons white urad dal (split black gram, skinned)

2 Tablespoons chana dal (split bengal gram, skinned)

1/2 cup water, more as needed

 

Ghee, as needed (make organic ghee at home)

Rock salt (saindhav salt) to taste

 

Equipment needed: Food Processor

 

Directions

1. Wash rice and lentils in a large mixing bowl. Soak it overnight or 8 hours.

2. Grind together soaked rice and lentils by adding enough water until smooth, pouring consistency is reached. Transfer this dosa batter into a mixing bowl.

3. Preheat the griddle and lightly coat it with ghee. Once the griddle is ready, pour 4-5 tablespoons of dosa batter carefully onto the center of the heated griddle and spread in circular motion to form a thin even layer. Once the dosa is spread, use a brush to apply ghee all over the dosa. Let it cook until edges start to rise and become slightly brown. Flip the dosa couple of times till both sides are well cooked and brown. Transfer dosa to plate and serve hot with coconut chutney or cilantro chutney. Repeat the same for rest of the batter.

 

Tip

Mix the batter well before making dosa. After a while you may need to add more water to get pouring consistency. Refrigerate the unused dosa batter immediately.
