For dosa batter

    about 2 cup( or as required)
  6. Salt
    to taste
Directions
  • Wash and soak rice in plenty of water for about 4 to 5 hours.
  • Wash and soak urad dal for 2 to 3 hours along with fenugreek seeds.
  • Drain urad dal and reserve the water to use it for grinding.In a griner/blender grind urad dal  and fenugreek seeds to form a smooth and fluffy batter.(During grinding ,add 1/4 cup water at a time as required.I used about 3/4 cup water.)Transfer this urad batter to a large bowl.
  • In the grinder ,grind together drained rice , cooked rice and just enough water to form a smooth batter.(Add 1/4 cup water at a time,as required.I used about 3/4 to 1 cup water.)Mix the rice batter along with the urad dal batter.
  • Add salt to taste and mix well.
  • Keep the batter aside to ferment in a warm place for about 10 to 12 hours.The bowl should be large enough to accommodate twice the volume of the batter.After fermentation the batter will be light and fluffy.
This is the basic recipe for dosa batter.Use sufficient quantity of this batter to prepare masala dosa.You can refrigerate the remaining batter for later use.
