Equipment

  • 1 bowl
  • 1 blender I use Vitamix
  • 1 non stick pan
  • 1 ladle
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Brown Rice-I used Brown Basmati but you can use any variety
  • 1 cup Urad dal
  • 1 tsp Methi Dana/Fenugreek seeds

Instructions
 

  • Wash Rice and Dal well till water runs clear.
  • Add Methi dana and soak overnight.
  • Rinse the Rice-Dal-Methi mixture well and grind everything together into a fine paste.
  • Mix well with hands and place two Red chilies on top.Put in a large container with a lid.Keep in oven with light on overnight to ferment.Keep away from light as the light starts cooking the batter.
  • After it ferments, put in refrigerator.
  • Add water and salt, as needed to make the batter into pouring consistency.
  • Heat a tawa/pan/griddle, rub some oil on the pan, use a wet towel to cool the pan and pour the batter in the middle of the tawa/pan/griddle.
  • Quickly start spreading the batter to make a thin crepe/pancake.
  • When you see its beginning to brown, add some oil.
  • No need to flip, simply roll, remove from pan and serve with potatoes, sambar and coconut chutney.

Notes

Tips to ferment-Use your hands to mix dough instead of spoon. The heat from the hands helps it to ferment better.
Place two green or red chilies on top and keep light in oven on all night. Provides perfect temperature for fermenting.Keep batter away from the light as the heat from the light starts cooking the batter
I use a cut onion to smear oil on pan, makes the pan nonstick and helps to remove the dosa perfectly, without sticking or breaking.
