Simple dosa batter

With a thanks to Sreeja who had gladly shared her mom's recipe with me to tackle a challenging little terror's taste buds. It started when my grinder's locking nut got broke in the sink erator. my son said oh ho no more dosas ever ever anymore.. his favorite words for narating.. We happened to taste these instant dosas at Sreejas house in a special dinner for my mom. One quick recipe sure to hit anyones tastebuds. It sure did my little ones's

Ingredients:

Urud dhall flour - 1 cup

Rice flour - 3 cups

Poha - 1 cup

Methi seed powdered - 1 tsp

Salt as needed

Water as needed

Method: Pour all ingredients in a blender and mix well to make the batter thick or thin to make a dosa.
Keep the batter aside for 1 full night & day to ferment. This batter holds good only for making dosas & not ideal for idlis. Serve the hot dosas with any variety of chutney or enjoy simply with a chilli powder or fondly called idli/dosa podi.

But there are some do not's when u follow the recipe:

* out of my over confidence i used idli rava instead of rice flour and the batter when poured on the hot griddle stuck to it.
* It came out a nice rava dosa though when added fried rava to this mix so able to use alternatively.

otherwise just stick to the recipe for best results. Keep an eye on the measure of water you are using to mix, better less than more water.

Thank you very much Meenakshi amma (called as Meena) for your recipe it helps us on tricky situation like mine. Will write about the little terror's taste buds in a different page soon.
