Set Dosa

Ingredients

Raw rice

1 cup

Parboiled rice

1/2 cup

Urad dal (split black gram)

1/2 cup

Fenugreek seeds

1/2 teaspoon

Poha (flattened rice)

1/4 cup

Salt

to taste

Oil

for greasing the pan

Instructions

1. Soak the raw rice, parboiled rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 4-5 hours.
2. Drain the water and add the soaked ingredients to a blender. Add the poha and grind to a smooth batter, adding water as necessary to achieve a pourable consistency.
3. Transfer the batter to a large bowl, add salt to taste, and mix well. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours or overnight until the batter is fluffy and has doubled in volume.
4. Once fermented, gently stir the batter to mix it well. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little water to adjust the consistency.
5. Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
6. Pour a ladleful of batter in the center of the pan. Do not spread it; allow it to naturally spread out a bit.
7. Cover the dosa with a lid and cook for about 1 minute until the edges start to lift and the top appears set.
8. Remove the lid, gently flip the dosa, and cook for another 30 seconds until the other side is lightly browned.
9. Remove the dosa from the pan and keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
