Moru Dosa
Crispy on the edges, soft in the middle — this moru dosa is a breakfast staple across Kerala. The batter comes together quickly and the dosa cooks in under a minute on a hot tawa.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 21/2 Glasses Raw rice
- 1/2 cup Sour curd
- 1 tbsp Fenugreek seeds (Uluva)
- 1/2 cup Jaggery (Sharkkara)
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
Preparation
Step 1
Wash the raw rice nicely till the water becomes clean.
Step 2
Wash methi seeds along with the rice.
Step 3
Pour half cup of sour curd and enough water and soak it for 6 - 7 hours.
Step 4
Grind the mixture along with turmeric powder and grated jaggery and keep it overnight.
Step 5
See that there is enough space for the batter to rise as the curd makes the batter ferment nicely.
Step 6
The next morning, stir the batter nicely.
Step 7
If it is too thick, you can loosen it by adding little water. Check if the sweet and sour consistency is ok. If you want it more sweet, add a little sugar.
Step 8
Heat an appam chatti and make dosas just like you make velleppam.
Tip
The pan must be properly hot before you pour the batter. Sprinkle a few drops of water — if they sizzle and evaporate immediately, the temperature is right.
