Masala Dosa

Ingridients:

1 cup Urad Dal

2.5 cups Rice

0.5 cup beaten rice (Atukulu)

1 tsp methi seeds

1. Soak Urad daal, methi seeds and Rice over night

2. Just before grinding the rice and daal soak beaten rice for 5 mins and then mix it with rice.

3. Grind thoroughly the mixture together in a wet grinder or mixie to a very smooth paste. Do not add much water while grinding.

4. Put the batter in a deep vessel and Leave the dosa batter for 12 hrs to ferment in a warm place. You should see that the dosa batter should rise by 1 - 2 inches minimum.

5. Mix the batter with a laddle nicely. Now the batter is ready to be used.

6. Now take a flat pan, and keep the flame on low.

7. Do not put any oil on the pan, take one laddle of dosa batter and spread it over the pan in a round shape. (make sure your pan is not too hot).

8. Now increase the flame, so that the pan becomes hot. After a minute roll over the dosa. Roll it back after a few seconds.

9. place some aloo masala in the middle and close both ends. Take the dosa out of the pan and put a peice of butter over it.

10. Serve it hot straight from the pan with coconut chutney and sambar.

Tip: Make sure your pan is just the right heat and do not put oil before spreading the batter, else the the batter will stick to the oil and it is difficult to spread it. If the tava is hot enough then the it takes only 30 sec to make one dosa.
