Dosa batter

Ingredients:

Urad dal-1/2 cup
Sona masoori rice-2 cups
Methi seeds-1/2 tsp
Thin poha-1/2 cup
Sabudana-1/4 cup

Method:

1. Wash urad dal and rice. Soak together with methi seeds and sabudana overnight with enough water.
2. Next day soak poha in enough water to make it soft.
3. Grind soaked dal/rice mix with soaked poha in a blender with just enough water to make into a smooth mix.
4. The batter should not be too thick or too thin. Transfer into a bowl.
5. Ferment for 8-10 hr or overnight.
6. To make dosas, heat a non stick pan. Add pinch of salt and sugar to the batter. Take 1 big spoonful of batter and pour it in the center. The ladle should have a round/oval shaped bottom. Starting from the center, spread the batter by moving the spoon in spiral manner until the batter is spread out evenly.
7. If you like, add 1/2 tsp oil/ghee around the dosa.
8. When you see that the edges of dosa are coming off from the pan, remove it using a spatula for plain dosa.  You can apply whatever kind of masalas/cheese at this point and then remove for masala dosas.
9. To prepare for next dosa, clean the surface of the pan using wet tissue paper or wet cloth. This prevents the next dosa from sticking to the pan.
10. Serve them with chutney and sambhar.
