Ingredients

•

150 g raw (boiled) rice

50 g urad dal

15 g cooked rice

10 g poha (pressed rice)

5 to 7 methi seeds

salt to taste

Oil

Preparation

Wash the urad dal, raw rice and methi seeds. Soak them in a little water

along with poha and cooked rice for at least an hour. Grind to a smooth

paste with a little water. Cover and keep aside for at least five hours.

Add salt to taste and mix well. This batter can be used as basic batter

for preparing paper masala dosa. The batter is enough to make about

four to six dosas. Use a stainless steel cup to pour the dosa batter onto

the tawa.

Pour about 300 ml dosa batter (on as wide a surface as possible), on a

pre-heated, greased dosa plate in an oval shape. Allow it to cook on low

heat for one-and-a-half minutes. Scrape the upper layer to get a thin and

crisp dosa. Roll it up. Similarly prepare three more dosas. Serve

immediately with coconut chutney and sambhar.
