Plain Dosa(Udadaa Polo)
Plain dosa is very simple to make and very helpful for people like me who have to rush to office in the morning for meetings or work.
Ingredients:
1 cup Urad daal (white lentils)
2 cups dosa rice (or any white rice)
½ tsp Methi (fenugreek seeds)
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Method:
The quantity of rice is 2 cups here if you are preparing the batter using a mixer. Increase the quantity to about 3 cups if you are using a wet grinder.
Wash and soak the urad daal, rice and methi in water for about 6-8 hours. Drain out the water and grind them together into a fine batter. Add enough water to obtain running consistency. Keep the batter aside for about 8-10 hours for it to ferment(either overnight or a day).
Add salt to the fermented batter and mix well. Heat tawa. Wet a piece of cloth and run it on the tawa. Spread a tbsp of batter on the tawa. Sprinkle some oil and as the dosa fries on one side, turn it for the other side to be fried. Remove from tawa and crispy dosas are ready!
Serve with red chilli onion chutney or any side dish of your choice!!

Make the paste of soaked beaten rice, and mix it to the batter of Udad daal, rice and methi. Leave it to ferment later….this enhances the look and feel of the dosa.
