Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice
• 0.5 cups Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Ghee
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and urad dal together under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain them thoroughly.

Step 2

Soak the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Drain the soaked rice and dal mixture. Add them to a blender with 1 to 1.5 cups of water, keeping the consistency smooth but slightly thick.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a large bowl. Cover it and allow it to ferment in a warm place for 8 to 12 hours, until the batter doubles in volume.

Step 5

Once fermented, add salt to the batter and mix well.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick dosa pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the hot pan. Quickly spread it into a thin, even circular shape using the back of the ladle.

Step 8

Drizzle a teaspoon of ghee around the edges and on top of the dosa.

Step 9

Cook until the edges start to lift, and the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 10

Flip the dosa and cook the other side if desired, but traditionally it's cooked on one side only.

Step 11

Remove the dosa from the pan and serve immediately with chutney or sambar.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
