FOR PREPARING BATTER & DOSA

  • 3 green chilies

Instructions
 

  • Add moong dal and Fenugreek seeds in a bowl. You can also add poha or rice alongwith, if you are not using rice flour later. As we are going to use rice flour, so not adding poha or rice.

MAKING OF BATTER AND DOSA

  • Drain the water from the dal but don't discard the water immediately. We are going to use a part of it later.
  • Transfer dal in a grinder jar.
  • Also add hing, green chilies, salt, cumin seeds and dry ginger powder. Add a bit of reserved water as well.
  • Grind to a smooth paste.
  • Transfer the paste in a bowl and also add rice flour. (Don't add rice flour in case you had soaked poha or rice as well).
  • Add a bit of that very same water and bring the consistency of batter to dosa batter, thick yet flowing.
  • Rub oil on tawa.
  • Pour a ladle full of batter and spread like a dosa.
  • Cook from both the sides but using few drops of oil.
  • Enjoy with sambar and coconut chutney.
