Recipe
Ingredients
For Batter
2 cup Short Grain Rice (I have used sona masoori rice here)
You can also use 1 & ½ cup short grain rice and ½ cup Ukda chawal which is idli rice
½ cup Urad Dal
3 tbsp Chana Dal
½ tsp Methi Seeds
¼ cup Poha
Salt, as per the taste
1 to 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
Method
1) Wash dals, methi seeds and rice thoroughly. You need to wash it 3 to 4 times until the water is clear.
2) Soak Urad Dal, Chana Dal and methi seeds in a bowl for nearly 5 hours.
3) Soak Rice in another bowl for nearly 5 hours.
4) Drain and grind the dals to make a smooth, light and fluffy batter. Add water little by little.
5) Drain and grind the rice & poha ( soak poha only for 15 to 20 mins in little water) to the desired texture. If you like grainy idli like Udupi restaurants, you can leave the rice slightly grainy. I just like to keep both smooth. Add water little by little.
6) It is important to grind both of these separately to get the perfect texture. In a large metal vessel, mix the dal batter along with the rice batter and stir these well. You can use your hand to do this. It is said when done with the hand, the batter ferments better.
7) Cover this with a plate and leave it to ferment for nearly 12 to 16 hours. When fermenting it, best is to leave it in a sunny place so that it ferments well. The way to know that the batter has fermented well is when the batter rises to the top of the vessel. It will be lighter and have bubbles in it. Never add salt while fermenting the batter.
9) Once the batter has fermented, you can add salt and sugar to it just
🌟Vishesh Tippanis
1. Use a steel vessel for fermenting the batter, my experience is that it is better.
2. Don’t disturb the batter in between. Once the batter has fermented, you can refrigerate
the batter for later use.
3. Never use tap water for soaking or grinding. Drinking water is the best.
4. Don’t keep the batter too thick, else it doesn’t ferment well.
5. A little SUGAR in the batter will make all the difference in the texture.
6. The temperature of the pan is the moist important while making the dosa.
7. While spreading - it has to be low, Initial cooking - High and towards the end, it has to
be medium.
8. While spreading the dosa, always start by spreading it quick else the batter won’t
spread evenly.
9. Put oil / ghee only when the dosa drys slightly. Do not put around the edges.
10. If you like soft dosa, spread it thicker and reduce the cooking time slightly. Cook on medium high flame
