Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice
• 0.5 cup Split urad dal (black gram lentils)
• 0.5 cup Toor dal (pigeon peas)
• 0.5 cup Moong dal (green gram lentils)
• 0.5 cup Chana dal (Bengal gram lentils)
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 4 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and all lentils (urad dal, toor dal, moong dal, and chana dal) under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine them in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the fenugreek seeds to the bowl and cover the mixture with water. Soak it for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Drain the soaking water and transfer the mixture to a blender. Add 2 cups of freshwater and blend to a smooth batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add salt. Mix well. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment at room temperature for 8-12 hours until it slightly rises and becomes bubbly.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with some ghee.

Step 6

Stir the fermented batter well. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan. Using the back of the ladle, spread it outwards in a circular motion to form a thin crepe.

Step 7

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of ghee around the edges and on top of the dosa. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Step 9

Remove from the pan and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stirring the batter before making each dosa to ensure an even consistency.
