Preparation
Step 1
Soak raw rice overnight or at least 4 hours.
Step 2
Wash and drain the soaked rice and add it into a mixer grinder.
Step 3
Next, add cooked rice and water as needed to get a dosa like batter.
Step 4
Pour the fine batter into a wide bowl, add required salt and Fold everything together gently.
Step 5
Heat a tawa, it should be hot and not smoking hot. Spread little oil or ghee, pour a ladle full of batter to the center of the tawa, and begin to spread in one direction to make a dosa.
Step 6
Spread 2-3 tbsp of grated coconut on top of the dosa.
Step 7
Spread it evenly and pour another ladle full of batter to cover the topped grated coconut.
Step 8
Pour 1 tsp ghee or oil across and let it cook for 1 minute.
Step 9
Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes on low-medium heat. Avoid cooking on high heat as you won't get crisp dosa.
Step 10
Goes well with any type of curries or have it just like that. Believe me it tastes delicious.
Tip
Resting the dough is not optional — it relaxes the gluten and makes the dough easier to roll. At least 30 minutes, ideally longer.
