Method
- Wash and soak rice and methi seeds in water for 3 to 4 hours.
- Wash and soak udad dal in water for 3 to 4 hours.
- Wash and soak poha for 20 minutesÂ
- Drain the rice and methi seeds, add the soaked poha and grind using little water, to a smooth paste. Â
- Drain the udad dal and grind using little water, to a smooth paste.
- Mix them in a deep vessel.
- Cover and keep the batter to ferment for six to eight hours in a warm place.Â
- Take required quantity of batter in a bowl, add salt and little water to get the desired consistency and mix well.
- Heat a tawa.
- Pour a ladle of dosa batter and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a tsp of oil or ghee around the dosa and cook till the dosa turns brown in colour and crisp.Â
- Fold it to make a roll, a triangle, a semi-circle or a cone.
- Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
Notes:
- Instead of poha, cooked rice can also be added.
- Adding cooked rice or poha  while grinding gives a good texture and colour to the dosa and it also helps in fermentation.
- While grinding the rice/ udad dal, add minimum water so that the batter does not become thin. Thick batter aids in fermentation.
- If after fermentation, the batter is too thick, little water can be added to obtain the desired consistency.
- While making the dosa, one can use either oil or ghee. But, I personally prefer using ghee as it enhances taste of the dosa.
