Ingredients

  • ¼ cup moong dal
  • ¼ cup toor dal
  • ¼ cup channa dal
  • ¼ cup green gram
  • ¼ cup urad dal
  • ¼ cup millets I used samai millet - any other millet of choice can be used. If using ragi, the colour of dosai may be slightly darker
  • ½ cup idli rice
  • 1 tsp fenugreek
  • salt to taste
  • oil to make dosais

Instructions

  • Add all lentils and grains, fenugreek into a bowl. Rinse several times until the water runs clear.
  • Soak in enough water for 4-5 hours.
  • Grind to a smooth paste in a mixie ( or a grinder).
  • Add salt and ferment overnight or until the batter slightly rises and becomes fluffy. It can take between 6 hours to overnight depending on where you live.
  • Once the batter is ready, check salt and dilute as required to dosa batter consistency.
  • Make dosais as usual, adding oil. These dosais are slightly yellow in colour and are crispy - so you can add enough water and oil.
