Serves: 3 Prep Time: 8 Cooking Time: 10

Ingredients

1. Raw rice (Pachari) - 1 Cup
2. Black gram (Peeled) - 1/2 Cup
3. Cooked rice - 2 Tablespoon
4. Salt
5. Oil

Instructions

Soak washed rice and black gram in water separately for minimum of 3 hours. Water should be above the surface of the rice and black gram. So that they can absorb enough water.
After 3 hours, drain the water and grind black gram separate with adding chilled water. (Chilled water is used, so that the batter won’t become hot while grinding).
Pour the ground black gram to a container.
In the same mixer jar, add the raw rice and cooked rice adding chilled water. Don’t add too much water just add enough water to make a medium – thick batter.
Mix both batter together and keep it in a container overnight.
If the batter is prepared in the evening next day morning the batter will be fermented and increased in quantity.
Add enough salt and mix the batter well.
Heat a tawa/pan and sprinkle some oil.
Take some batter with a ladle and pour the batter on the tawa/ pan and spread it evenly (Same like making pancakes).
When one side is done flip it and cook other side.
Serve hot.

Notes

- Grind the black gram till it become soft and fluffy. That is the secret for soft dosa. - Use a large container as the batter will ferment and spillover.
