MANGALOREAN STYLE SET DOSA

Originally the Mangalorean/Udupi Dosas were softer & thicker. But today thinner and crispier versions are popular. This style set Dosa is my favourite.

Ingredients :

2 1/2 cups raw rice
1/2 cup urad dal
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
salt to taste
2 tsp sugar

make smooth paste :
1/2 cup soaked poha (thick)
1/2 cup coconut grated
1/4 cup cooked rice

Method :

1. Clean & soak rice, urad dal & fenugreek seeds together for atleast 5-6 hours.
2. Before grinding rice soak the poha for atleast half an hour.
3. Blend the poha, grated coconut, cooked rice & salt to a smooth paste. Transfer into a bowl & keep aside.
4. Next grind the drained rice mixture with enough water to a smooth paste. To this add the above mixture and grind again. Let the batter be semi thick.
5. Accumulate the batter in a large container. Whisk the batter with your hand. cover with lid & set aside overnight to ferment.
6. Before making dosa add in the sugar and stir the batter lightly.
7. Grease & heat the pan, pour a ladleful of batter and spread it.
8. Cover the dosa with lid for a few seconds and let it cook.
