Dal And Rice Dosa Recipe (Mixed Dal Dosa)

Ingredients

• 1 cup urad dal (safed urad dal)
• 1 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram)
• 1 cup raw rice (chawal)
• salt (namak) to taste
• oil for cooking

Steps

1. To make dal and rice dosa, soak the rice, urad dal and chana dal in enough lukewarm water in a deep bowl and keep aside to soak for 2 hours.
2. Drain, wash and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste using approx. 2 cups of water.
3. Transfer the batter into a deep bowl, add the salt and mix well. Cover with a lid and keep aside to ferment in a warm place for 12 hours.
4. Once fermented, add approx. 3 tbsp of water and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency.
5. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), grease it with oil. Sprinkle a little water on the tava (griddle) and wipe it off gently using a muslin cloth.
6. Pour a ladleful of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a 225 mm. (9 inches) diameter or 200 mm (8 inches) diameter thin circle.
7. Smear a little oil over it and along the edges and cook on a medium flame till the dosa turns golden brown in colour and crisp.
8. Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 24 more dosas.
10. Serve dal and rice dosa immediately with sambhar, coconut chutney and spicy onion chutney.
