Dosa
is a staple food that we consume as breakfast in south India. It is a kind of
mandate to have at least twice a week in our home. It is not only easy to make
if batter is ready but also makes a wholesome meal, loved by most. So making it
interesting, attractive by variety is all about the task of a homemaker!
Nutrition value of it cannot be ignored too as it is to start the day. Unique dosa
can be made by altering few ingredients or addition of goodness (vegetables/ fruits/
pulses) to the regular batter.

Method:
- Wash rice, urad dal, horse gram & fenugreek seeds with clean water and soak in water for minimum 4 hours.
- When it is done, wash once again, drain water.
- Take rice, horse gram, dal & fenugreek (soaked & washed) in a wet mixer jar or grinder. Grind to smooth batter adding required water. Add salt while grinding.
- Mix the batter well and keep it covered in a warm place to ferment. It requires minimum 8 – 10 hours. Ideal timing is evening 4 – morning until you make dosas.
- The batter rises as it ferments, so have enough space in the vessel.
Making dosas:

- Adjust the consistency to that of plain dosa batter adding water. Take a ladleful of batter and spread on the griddle as you like. That is mini or single large, thin or thick dosa.
