Sponge Dosa Recipe - Fermentation Method

I learnt this from my neighbor.Whenever i run short of idli rice / Puzhungal arisi , I make this dosa.The ingredients and the method are a bit different from the usual poha dosa. Usually its batter is made using buttermilk and no fermentation is needed or may use cooked rice and prepare. But i ferment the batter at least for 8 hours.So u can prepare this dosa only by the next day.Try this soft sponge dosa recipe , i am sure u will like it.

Ingredients :
1 cup - 200ml

• Raw rice – 1 cup
• Poha / Aval – 1/2 cup(heaped)
• Fenugreek seeds – 1/2 tsp
• Salt & water – As needed.

Method :

• Wash and soak the rice , poha and methi seeds together for 2 hrs.
• Grind it to make a smooth batter by adding salt & water.
• U can grind it using mixie too.Use ice cold water if using mixie
• Keep the batter for 8 – 10 hrs to ferment.
• The next day , mix the batter well and make dosas.
• U all know , this dosa is small in size .So do not spread the batter on the tawa.Make it a small circle.
• Apply oil around the dosa if desired.
• Then cover cook and don’t flip the dosa.

Serve hot with Coconut or Tomato chutney !!
I served with tomato–mint chutney ..
