Poha dosa

Ingredients:
  • 1&1/2 cups rice
  • 1/4 cup urad dal
  • 1/2 cup attukulu/poha/aval/rice flakes
  • 3 1/2 cups thick buttermilk (sour)
  • 1 tsp methi seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • oil as required
Method:

  1. Soak rice, poha, methi seeds,urad dal in thick buttermilk overnight (8-10 hrs). Next morning, grind to a smooth paste. The batter should be of pouring consistency. Add salt and combine well. Leave aside for 2 hours.
  2. Pre-heat an iron tawa on high for half a minute. Do the water test (sprinkle few drops of water over the hot tawa such that it sizzles) and reduce heat. 
  3. Pour a large ladle full of dosa batter in the center of the tawa and gently with the back of the ladle make a very slight circular motion or just let the batter spread on its own naturally. Pour a half a tsp of oil like drops along the edge of the dosa. 
  4. Cover with a lid and on medium heat let the dosa cook for a minute till the rawness disappears and the dosa browns. Flip the dosa and let it cook for a less than half a minute (need not cover with lid). Flipping the dosa and cooking on the other side is optional.
