Equipment
- Bowl for mixing
- Non-stick tava/skillet
- Spoons and Ladles
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice
- 3 tablespoon methi seeds fenugreek seeds
- 1 cup coconut grated
- ¼ cup Beaten Rice
- ½ cup Jaggery
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon yeast
- Water as needed
- Oil as needed
Instructions
- Rinse and soak the rice and the methi seeds together in water for a minimum of 8 hours. Soak poha about 10 minutes before grinding.
- Grind jaggery, coconut and rice and methi seeds first use water as needed. The batter must be very smooth.
- Then grind the poha and rice again a fine paste.
- Finally, grind the rest of the rice.
- Use a big bowl to transfer the batter. Add salt and make a batter of pourable consistency using water. Set aside.
- About 2 hours before you need the dough, activate the yeast in warm water and add to the batter.
- Grease a non-stick tava/skillet add about ½ cup of the dough in the centre.
- The batter spreads add ½ teaspoon of oil and cover and cook. You will see bubbles form.
- After about a minute once the dosa is cooked on the top flip it.
- Cook on the other side and serve immediately.
- Serve with any spicy gravy. I prefer it with a dollop of homemade ghee.
Notes
- Another option is to ferment the batter overnight or for 10-12 hours. Then you need not add the yeast.
- You can add turmeric to the batter too.
