Procedure for Dosa

• Soak rice and Urad Dal separately in water for 5-6 hours after thorough wash.
• Grind them separately each for 20 minutes. Grind until the paste for each is smooth.
• Mix them well and add rice flour to form a paste . Cover and keep it for 6-7 hours (minimum) .
• Before using batter add salt and sugar.
• Heat Tawa ( preferably non stick pan ) on medium to high flame. For the first Dosa, sprinkle oil on the Tawa followed by water. Wipe with a dry cloth. For the rest of the Dosas on wards sprinkle water only and allow the pan to crackle letting the water evaporate. Wipe properly such that no oil is left over on the pan for the other Dosas.
• Put 1 to 1 1/2 ladle batter on the center of the Tawa and spread it immediately in a circular motion with a medium thickness.
• After about 1/2 to 1 minute (when the batter becomes little dry) add oil, ghee and butter to all parts of the Dosa according to ones own taste ( the more the crispier and tastier!). Heat under medium to high flame until the center portion of the Dosa looks brown and crispy. Keep curry on one side of the dosa and cover from the other side .
• Serve with chutney.
