Mixed dal dosa Recipe
5/5
Mixed Dal Dosa is a nutritious and delicious South Indian dish made with a combination of mixed dals and rice. It is a healthy alternative to regular dosas as it provides a good balance of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. The fermentation process enhances the nutritional profile and improves the digestion of the dosas.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mixed dals (such as split urad dal, split yellow moong dal, and split chana dal), soaked for 4-5 hours
- 1 cup rice, soaked for 4-5 hours
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi seeds), soaked along with the dals and rice
- Salt to taste
- Oil or ghee for cooking
INSTRUCTIONS
- Drain the soaked dals, rice, and fenugreek seeds and transfer them to a blender or a food processor. Grind them together to make a smooth batter. Add water as needed to achieve a pouring consistency. The batter should not be too thick or too thin.
- Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add salt. Mix well to combine. Let the batter ferment for 6-8 hours or overnight. Fermentation will give the dosas a light and crispy texture.
- Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or a griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom side turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for a minute or until it is cooked through.
- Remove the dosa from the tawa and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or any chutney of your choice.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more dosas.
TIPS
- Soaking the dals and rice for a few hours helps in easy grinding and fermentation. Ensure that the dals and rice are well-soaked for the best results.
- Adding fenugreek seeds to the batter enhances the flavor and aids in the fermentation process.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding water as needed. It should be pourable but not too thin.
- Cook the dosas on medium heat to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Serve the dosas hot with your favorite accompaniments like coconut chutney, sambar, or any chutney of your choice.
- Leftover batter can be refrigerated for 2-3 days and used to make more dosas later. Stir the batter well before making dosas.
