How to Make Plain Crepes Plain Dosas

  1. Rinse 1 cup parboiled rice and 1/2 cup urad dal (split black lentils) thoroughly. Soak separately in ample water for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds to the urad dal soaking water.
  3. Drain the soaked rice and urad dal separately.
  4. Grind the soaked rice in a blender until a smooth batter forms. Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Grind the soaked urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a blender until a smooth batter forms. Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. In a large bowl, gently combine the rice batter and urad dal batter.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) and mix well.
  8. Cover the batter and let it ferment in a warm place for at least 8-12 hours, or overnight. The batter should become fluffy and slightly increased in volume.
  9. Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned flat griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  10. Lightly brush the pan with oil.
  11. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it quickly and thinly into a 6-inch circle using the back of the ladle or a spatula.
  12. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil around the edges of the dosa.
  13. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the dosa appears slightly set.
  14. Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another 1 minute on the other side.
  15. Serve the dosa immediately with sambar and chutney.
  16. If the dosas stick, lightly rub a sliced onion dipped in oil on the pan between dosas.
