Dosa, a popular South Indian staple, is made by fermenting a perfect balance of urad dal and rice in its batter. Traditionally, dosa batter is made using a 2:1 ratio of rice to dal, which is fermented overnight. Getting the ratio correct helps to achieve crispness and tanginess. Here is an easy recipe for dosa to try:
Ingredients
1 cup of parboiled rice 1/2 cup urad dal Salt to taste Water for grinding
Step 1
Soak rice and dal separately for 4-6 hours or overnight. Drain water and grind dal and rice separately to a smooth consistency, adding water as needed.
Step 2
Combine the ground dal and rice batter, adding salt to taste. Mix well and allow it to ferment for 8–12 hours in a warm place.
Step 3
Heat a tawa over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter on the tawa and spread it into a thin, circular shape. Drizzle some oil around the edges and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 4
Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar or any desired accompaniment.
