How to make dosa batter at home

Wisdom 7:7

                          Home made is always good. So why do you buy ready-to-make dosa batter, whose ingredients we never know, when you can easily make it at home? Making the batter fresh at home does make a difference in the taste of dosa we make out of it. It tastes amazing and is very soft. It is very easy to make the batter and let us see below how.

Makes 10-15 medium sized dosas.

Ingredients:

Parboiled rice / Idli rice : 1 cup

Split black gram / Urud dal : 1/2 cup

Fenugreek seeds : 1 table spoon

Cooked rice : 1/4 cup

Salt : as required

Water : as required

Method:

 

Step 1: Wash idli rice, Urud dal and fenugreek seeds and soak them separately in water for 7 hours. (We use the water in which they are soaked for grinding them. So add sufficient water.)

Step 2: After 7 hours, grind the soaked idli rice, urud dal and fenugreek seeds along with cooked rice in a mixer adding the water used for soaking. Grind them to form a smooth batter (not too loose).

Step 3:  Pour the batter to a glass container and keep it in a warm place for 8 hours to ferment.

Step 4: After 8 hours, you can see that the batter has risen. Add salt and mix well. The batter is ready to make soft dosas.
