Category: South Indian breakfast

preparation time-6-8 Hrs

Cooking time-15-20mins





INGREDIENTS:



  • 1 cup  parboil rice

  • 1/4 cup of urad dal (white lentils)

  • 1/4 cup of rice

  • 1/4 cup of channa

  • Salt-to taste

  • 1/2 t-spoons of methi seeds(fenugreek)

  • 1 onion (nicely chopped)

  • 2 tomatoes (sliced)

  • 2-3 green chili(nicely chopped|)

  • 1/2 cup of Karam podi or idli podi

  • 1/2 cup of coriander

  • Cheese (grated or slices)

  • 100g of butter




METHOD:


                To make the dosa batter-



  • Wash both parboil and normal rice, fenugreek seeds in a bowl for two times and soak it for about 1.5-2hrs.
  • After soaking them add urad dal(lentils) and channa dal and again let this soak for another 2hrs.
  • Now grind it into a slightly coarse batter that is you should be able to feel the grainy texture of it.
  • Cover it with a lid and let it ferment for about 4-5hrs. This may even take a long time. After it is fermented add salt to taste and mix it well with some water until you get the free-flowing or the desired consistency.




       To make butter dosa-



  • Heat the skillet or a dosa tawa on a high flame and grease it well with oil. If it is iron skillet you can use a wet cloth (or even half cut onion works😉)to spread the oil all over and make them non-stick.
  • Now pour 11/2 or 2 ladle full of batter on to the tawa or skillet and gently spread them, into a circle.
  • When the batter starts to cook add idli podi or Karam podi and spread it well.
  • Add butter, chopped onions, some green chili, sliced tomatoes and some generous amount of grated or slices of cheese.
  • Now allow the bottom side to well cook( you will see the bottom side turning in to nice brown color).
  • Fold the dosa into half and take them out of the skillet using a spatula and it's ready to serve.




 NOTE:



  • you can serve it with your favorite sides as per your wish(like-chutney)
  • You can even use veg-upma or mashed potatoes in the stuffing.
  • without any stuffing, you can make plain butter dosa.which can be side with sambhar, chutney or idli podi
