Plain Dosa

Ingredients
Urad Dal - 1 cup
Rice - 2 cups
Methi Seeds (fenu greek seeds) - 1 tbsp
Poha - 1/4 cup

Procedure
Take all the above ingredients in a bowl. Clean/Wash well with clean water. Add sufficient water (a little above the total ingredients) to this bowl and set aside for 4 hours. Remove the excess water from the bowl. Put all the above in Grinder/Mixture jar and grind well. Add water to make a fluid paste. Ferment this batter overnight. Next day morning add salt to this batter and beat well to make it ready. Take non-stick frying pan and heat it for a minute. Take the batter and prepare round and thin dosas. Put some oil at the edges and in the middle of the dosa. This makes it crispy. And your plain dosa is ready.

Author's Note
Coconut chutney and Idli chutney goes very well with this dish. It's a good morning time breakfast and any time snack.


A variation to Dosa is to prepare Uttapa, using the same batter.
