Dosa !!

[sanilss]

3 Cups of Rice- long grain
1 cup of Urad Dhal- ( Indian shops will sell this- it is small and cream in colour)
1 small handful of Thoor Dhal.

Soak the above overnight with plenty of water and leave in a warm place. The following morning blend all three to a fine smooth paste using enough water. Put the batter in a large bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt.

Leave it for at least 7 hours, in a warm place. Mix well. The batter should have fermented and become light and slightly fluffy.

To make the Dosai:
Heat a flat iron griddle or a non stick frying pan. Try to find a thick bottomed griddle/ pan. let the pan get very hot. Then turn it down to medium heat. Spoon a large spoon of batter in the middle. Swirl to circle quickly before it hardens. Wait till the underside is brown. Flip once. Viola.

If you want a recipe for Coconut Chutney or the Potato Palya that goes with it, let me know.

There are some amazing combinations of this using onions, cabbage etc. So experiment and have fun.
