• 1 tbsp fenugreek (methi) seeds
• 1 cup raw rice (chawal)
• 1 cup parboiled rice (ukda chawal)
• 2 tbsp thick beaten rice (jada poha)

2. Wash and soak the par-boiled rice, raw rice, thick beaten rice and enough water in a deep bowl and mix well. Cover with a lid and keep aside to soak for 4 hours.
3. Drain the urad dal and fenugreek seeds and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste using approx. 1 cup of water. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl and keep aside.
4. Drain the par-boiled rice, raw rice, and thick beaten rice and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste using approx. 1 cup of water. Transfer the mixture into the same bowl of the urad dal batter, add the salt and mix well.
5. Cover with a lid and keep aside to ferment in a warm place for 12 hours.

7. Use the dosa batter immediately to make dosas or store the batter in an air-tight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for at least 1 week.
