Discover the joy of making perfectly crispy and savory South Indian dosas with our updated recipe. Fermented to perfection, these rice and lentil crêpes are a delight to cook and even better to eat. Serve them with a variety of chutneys and sambar for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1/2 cup urad dal
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • Water, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Oil, for cooking

Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse and soak the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds together in water for 6-8 hours.

  2. 2

    Drain and grind the soaked mixture into a smooth batter, adding cold water as needed.

  3. 3

    Stir in salt and let the batter ferment overnight in a warm place.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour a ladleful of batter, spreading it in a circular motion to create a thin crêpe.

  5. 5

    Drizzle oil around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown.

  6. 6

    Flip and cook briefly on the other side for extra crispness, then serve immediately with coconut chutney and sambar.

Chef's tip

Ensure the batter ferments adequately, which requires a warm environment. Adjust water quantity based on your specific rice and urad dal.
