Recipe for a Perfect “Dosa”

What’s in a Dosa you might ask. There is plenty. The right ingredients in the right proportion and fried with the right heat will produce a perfect Dosa. It took me years but today I can say I have learnt the technique.

Here is how

Ingredients

2 cups raw or white rice

Half cup urad dal

Half cup cooked boiled rice

1 teaspoon yeast

3 teaspoons sugar

Salt to taste

Oil to fry

More than required urad dal will remove the ‘wetness’ of the dosa and the dough may turn sour and  too little will not help the dough to rise. Too much sugar again will char the Dosa while frying.  It is therefore necessary that the right quantity it used.

 

Method

Soak rice and urad dal separately. It should remain soaked atleast for 6 hours. Grind urad dal and then add rice with the other ingredients

. Grind the mixture fine. The consistency of the dough should neither be too thin nor too thick. This comes with practice and this is why it takes time to be perfect. There are other aspects that one should pick up to get it right.

Let the dough rise. Mix it with a spoon. Heat a pan on medium flame. Too much flame will char the Dosa’ Close the pan. In about two to three minutes the Dosa will be ready. If you touch the surface there will be no dough sticking to your finger.

Have  it with chutney. I forgot to take out the chutney from the deep freeze this morning So I just dunked the dosas in tea and they tasted great.

As they say practice makes it perfect. And that is how I can now say that I am good at making Dosas. Just between you and me it took me years to be perfect. I can,  not only do them well but also teach others on how to be perfect in making Dosas.
