Sada Dosa With Chutney and Sambar

Sada Dosa With Chutney and Sambar


 Ingredients
For The Dosa Batter
1 cup raw short-grained rice (chawal) / par-boiled rice (ukda chawal)
1/3 cup urad dal (split black lentils)
5 to 7 fenugreek (methi) seeds
salt to taste

Other Ingredients

1/4 tsp oil for greasing
4 tsp oil for cooking

For Serving

coconut chutney
green garlic chutney
sambhar

MethodFor the dosa batter (makes approx. 3 cups)
1. Clean, wash and soak the rice in enough water for atleast 3 to 4 hours.
2. Clean, wash and soak the urad dal and fenugreek seeds together in enough water for
     atleast 3 to 4 hours.
3. Drain the rice, add a little water (approx. ¼ cup of water) and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
4. Drain the urad dal and fenugreek seeds, add a little water (approx. 1 tbsp of water) and blend
    in a mixer to a smooth paste.
5. Combine the rice paste and urad dal paste, mix well and cover and allow it to ferment in a
    warm place for atleast 6 to 8 hours.
6. Add ½ cup of water, salt and mix well.
7. Remove 1 cup of the prepared batter to make dosas and store the remaining batter in an
    air- tight  container in a deep-freezer.


Method1. Pour ¼th of the batter on the greased non- stick tava (griddle)(refer handy tip) and spread in a
    circular motion to make a 225 mm. (9") thin dosa.
2. Smear 1 tsp of oil over it and cook till the dosa turns brown in colour and crisp.
3. Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll.
4. Place the dosa on a plate and serve immediately with coconut chutney, green garlic
    chutney and sambhar.





Handy tip:

1. Before making the dosas grease the non-stick tava with ¼ tsp of oil and wipe with a slice of onion or    potato. Sprinkle a little water on it and wipe off using a piece of cloth.
2. Spread a portion of the batter to make a small sample dosa, cook it and discard.
3. This will ensure that the remaining dosas do not stick to the tava (griddle) and can be cooked
easily.
