7 Mistakes To Avoid While Making Dosa Batter

By Vidushi Singh 

To attain the optimum texture and flavour, make dosa batter with care and precision. Here are seven common dosa batter preparation mistakes to avoid

1. Inadequate Soaking And Grinding

Insufficient soaking can result in grainy batter, while improper grinding can lead to a coarse texture in dosas.

2.  Fermentation Time or Temperature

Inadequate or fluctuating fermentation conditions can hinder the batter's ability to rise properly, affecting the taste and texture of dosas.

3. Excess Water

Excessive water makes the batter thin and difficult to spread, resulting in thin and floppy dosas instead of crispy ones.

4. Adding Salt

Salt is a crucial ingredient that enhances the taste of dosas. Omitting it can leave the dosas bland and lacking in flavor.

5. Insufficient Mixing

Properly mixing the batter helps ensure a consistent texture throughout, preventing lumps or uneven dosas.

6. Resting The Batter

Resting the batter after mixing allows the flavors to develop and gives a light and airy texture to the dosas.

7. Using Stale Ingredients

The quality of ingredients affects the taste and overall quality of the dosa batter. Using fresh and good-qua

8. Correct Measurements of Dal and Rice

Correct dal and rice quantities ensure the right texture, fermentation, and flavour, resulting in perfectly crisp and tasty dosas.
