How to make easy dosa batter recipe at home using rice flour & urad dal

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Breakfast

Serves: 12-15 nos

Prep time: 1H+12H

Cook time: 2 Minutes

Total time: 13H2Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 200 ml Rice flour - 1.5 cups (any rice flour. u can use idiyappam flour too) White round urad dal - 1/2 cup Salt & Water - as needed Cooking oil/gingely oil/ghee - as needed to make dosa

METHOD

Wash the urad dal once and add soak it by adding enough water.Take the rice flour in a wide bowl and add 2 cups of water.Whisk it well and make sure the water level is 1 inch above the flour.Add more if  needed.Let it soak well for 1 hour at least.No issues even if you soak them for 4-5 hours(Suppose if you want to use Methi seeds,add with urad dal and soak for minimum 2 hours) Now drain the excess water from urad dal and grind it in a big mixie jar.Grind them without using water.Then add water and grind it to a smooth batter.I used nearly 3/4-1 cup of water.Add the soaked rice flour along with water & salt.Grind the batter again for even mixing.Add some water if you feel the batter is too thick. Transfer the batter to bowl. Wash the mixie jar by adding little water and add to the batter.Mix the batter well with your hands.It helps proper & quick fermentation.Leave the batter overnight or at least for 12 hours based on the weather conditions in your place. The next morning,batter would have raised well.Mix the batter well and add some water if  it is too thick. Heat a dosa pan and pour a ladleful of batter in the tawa.Spread it well.thinly & uniformly.Keep the flame medium and let the dosa cook till you see the dosa turning golden brown in the bottom.By this time,the top portion would have been cooked.You can also cover the tawa with a lid.Do not flip the dosa.As soon as the dosa starts to turn golden brown,drizzle one or two tsp of oil or ghee all over the dosa.Let the dosa turn completely golden & crispy.Fold the dosa & serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar ! Enjoy !

Note

For variations,u can use split urad dal instead of round ones. You can add 1/4 tsp of methi seeds to get nice flavored dosa. Do not make the batter too thick or too thin.The consistency should be like our regular idli,dosa batter. You can also use urad dal flour instead of grinding urad dal.Use the same ratio. Add oil or ghee generously to get a shiny look in the dosa. Do not cook the dosa in very high flame.It will burn quickly.Cook the dosa in medium flame patiently.Adjust the flame whenever needed.

Enjoy Crispy dosa with chutney & sambar for your breakfast or dinner !
