Plain Dosa

The most favourite breakfast across the South India is dosa.  Dosa can be made in different varieties, like onion dosa, Masala dosa, and Rawa dosa etc.. Plain dosa is the basic variety of dosa. For preparation of plain dosa we need to have a batter made with black gram, rice and fenugreek seeds.  This batter should be fermented. If we do not ferment the batter, we get hard dosas. Of course time for fermentation depends on the climate conditions. If the climate is hot, then we can ferment it for 5 to 6 hours is enough.

Ingredients:

Black gram-1 cup

Rice-3 cups

Poha-1 cup

Fenugreek seeds-1tbsp

Salt-to taste

Oil-5 tbsp

Preparation:

Soak black gram, rice, poha and fenugreek seeds for 8 hours. If we soak them separately grinding them will become very easy. Grind them to make a smooth paste. Add salt and let the batter ferment for 8 to 10 hours.

Heat the Dosa tawa, wipe with a wet cloth or sprinkle little water. 

With this process we can check whether the tawa is sufficiently hot or not. 
Pour one ladle full of batter on the tawa and spread it in circular motion.  Pour 1 tbsp oil on the dosa. Pour it also in the circular motion only.  Let it cook for 2 minutes and turn it and again cook for 2 minutes.  
This dosa can be taken with coconut chutney and Potato curry.
