Title: Indian Dosas Daring Cooks
Ingredients:
– 1 cup rice flour
– 1/2 cup urad dal (black gram lentils), soaked in water for 4-6 hours
– 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Water, as needed
– Oil, for cooking
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, soaked urad dal, fenugreek seeds, and salt. Add enough water to form a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it ferment for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, in a warm place. The fermentation process is crucial for the dosas to develop their characteristic tangy flavor.
2. After the batter has fermented, give it a gentle stir to mix everything well. If the batter is too thick, add a little water to reach a pourable consistency. The batter should be thin enough to spread easily on the pan but not too watery.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil using a paper towel. Ensure the skillet is well heated before making the dosas.
4. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it in a circular motion outward to form a thin, even layer. The dosa should be thin, slightly crispy around the edges, and soft in the center.
5. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
6. Gently loosen the edges of the dosa with a spatula before carefully flipping it over. Cook the other side for another minute or until lightly browned.
7. Once cooked to perfection, transfer the dosa to a plate and continue making dosas with the remaining batter. Remember to stir the batter before making each dosa to maintain a consistent texture.
Your Indian Dosas are now ready to be enjoyed hot off the griddle! Serve them with your favorite chutneys, sambar, or even a savory potato filling for a traditional touch. These crispy, flavorful dosas make a delicious breakfast, snack, or even a side dish that’s sure to impress your taste buds.
