Quick Dosai

Making Dosai (as well as Idly) is comparatively a long process because a plenty of time is needed for the fermentation. But what if you are in a hurry and want to make it to the dinner table at 8 o' clock while you're left with just few hours more? Hmm... The answer is, Yes. You can indeed make excellent soft dosai which requires no fermentation. 

Ingredients:

Split Black Gram (Urad Dal) - 1 Cup

Roasted White Rice Flour - 1 Cup

All Purpose Flour - 1 Cup

Baking Soda - 1/4 Tsp

Coconut Milk Powder - 4 Tsp (Or 1/2 Cup Freshly Squeezed Coconut Milk)

Salt to taste

Lukewarm water as needed

Olive Oil/Ghee

Method:

1. Clean and rinse Urad dal. Soak it in enough hot water for 30-45 minutes.

2. Drain the excess water and grind to a smooth batter. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the flours, baking soda, coconut milk and salt with the ground batter. Add water little by little and mix well using a metal whisk. Whisk helps to dissolve any unmixed lumps.

4. Stop adding water, when your batter reaches a consistency that is slightly thicker than pancake mix.

5. Heat a nonstick skillet (tawa) and pour a ladle full of  dosa batter. Immediately spread in a circular motion. 

6. Smear some ghee/olive oil around and cook on both sides. 

7. Tastes good with spicy chutney or chicken curry.
