DOSA RECIPE | STARTUP COOKING

A Dosa is a thin pancake or crepe from South India made from a fermented batter consisting of rice and lentils. It is somewhat similar to a crepe in appearance, but savory flavors are different. Its main ingredient is par boiled rice and whole urad dal, ground together in a slight coarse smooth batter with a dash of salt and then fermented overnight.

Dosas are a very common dish in South Indian cuisine, but now it have become popular all over the Indian subcontinent. Dosas are served hot along with favorite chutney and sambar.

set the batter bowl aside in a warm place for at least 10 hrs to ferment or until the batter rises well to double the quantity. (it totally depends on the weather and temperature)

once the batter is well fermented, mix the batter well 2-3 times before use

heat a dosa tawa, take a ladle full of batter and pour the batter in the center and spread in a circular motion

drizzle a tsp of oil on the edges of the dosa

once the edges starts to turn brown color, flip over the dosa to other side and cook evenly

fold the dosa in half and serve hot with chutney of your choice

NOTES

for crispy dosa, one important tip is to maintain the temperature of the tawa. if the tawa is too hot, you wont be able to spread the batter. If the tawa is not hot, the dosa will not become crisp it turns soggy. Maintain a medium temperature while making dosa
