Paper Plain Dosa

Ingredients

1 cup Urad Dal

3- 3 & 1/4 cups Rice

1/4 cup Chana Dal

2-3 tbsp Methi Seeds

2-3 tbsp Poha, thick

1 tsp Ghee/Butter/Oil for each dosa

Salt as per taste

Procedure

• Soak the dal, rice, methi seeds and poha with enough water for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
• Grind the soaked ingredients with enough water to a very smooth paste; But keep in mind not to add too much water and make the batter running.
• Allow batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8-10 hours; Make sure the container has enough room for the batter to rise.
• Add salt to the fermented batter and mix well.
• Place a non stick griddle on medium heat; Once hot, pour a ladle full of batter at the center; With the back of the ladle, spread the batter thinly; Start from the center and work outwards, in a fast circular motion; Note: Spread the batter as soon as you pour it on the griddle; The batter will start getting cooked other wise and stick to the ladle, if you try spreading it after a while.
• Pour few drops of ghee/oil all over the dosa and also at the edges; Let cook on medium heat until it turns golden brown in color.
• Remove from griddle and serve immediately with coconut chutney, sambhar, kurma, saagu or any other side dish of your choice.
