DOSA/IDILI BATTER

Ingredients:-
Idly Rice (or pachari)- 2 cups
Urad Dal (Uzhunne) - 1 cup
Cooked Rice - 1 cup
Fenugreek Seeds (Uluva) - 1/2 tsp
Water - As required

Method:-
Wash idly rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds. Soak them together or separately for at least 6 hours. In a mixer grinder grind the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds by adding little water at a time. To this mixture, add 1 cup of cooked rice and grind it together until smooth. Keep the batter aside in a warm place for 10 - 12 hours for it to rise.


To make idly, add salt to taste and water only if the batter is too thick. Grease the idly pan with oil, so that the idly doesn't stick to the pan. Pour the mixture into the idly pan and steam it for 10-12 mins. Sprinkle little water while removing, so that it will come out easily.


To make dosa, the batter shouldn't be too thick, it should be easy to pour. Add salt to taste. Take a laddle full of dosa batter and add it to the dosa tawa or pan and keep spreading in circular outward motion. Cover and cook until slightly browned. You can add ghee while making dosa, it gives a really yummy and crispy dosa.
