Dosa also named as dosai (in Tamil language) is a popular South Indian breakfast or snack both in India as well as out of India. Dosa are rice and lentil crepes which are made with ground and fermented lentil-rice batter.
I found out fermented rice batter with urad daal makes dosa crispy. And, dosa wih rice flour without fermentation makes dosa soft.
The rice and lentils are soaked for 4 to 5 hours. They are then ground separately to a fine texture. Both the lentil batter and the rice batter are combined with salt and baking soda. The batter is then left to ferment overnight or for 8 to 9 hours.
After the batter is fermented, the batter is poured on seasoned cast-iron pan or skillet (tawa) and flattened like a pancake and cooked till crispy and golden.
Urad dal is available whole as well as split. To make dosa, you can use either the husked whole urad dal or the husked & split urad dal. Both these kinds of urad dal have an off-white color. The black husks on them should be removed.
Next morning the batter get fermented.
Mix salt, methi powder. Then add some water and make medium consistency.
Serve hot with Potato sabji and chutney.
