An Idiots Guide for making TOSAI - hehehe

M having fun...took over the kitchen today.....making todai aka 'dosa' ---- tadaa!!!!

RECEIPE

Method:
Soak rice, black gram dal and chana separately for 4 hours. Grind all together by adding water. Grind till it becomes very fine paste. Batter should not be very thick. It is like semi-liquid. Add salt.
Keep covered for at least 6 to 7 hours or whole night. So that it will ferment. Once it has risen, stir nicely and be ready to make dosa.

Usually to make dosa griddle is used. Grease the griddle with peanut oil or any other oil.If you don't have this, use non-stick pan. Heat it and pour one ladle full over the griddle and spread the batter from the bottom of the ladle evenly making circles. Drizzle oil or butter around the edges of dosa. Cover the lid. Once it is cooked spread butter and garlic chutney on the top. Take metal spatula and remove from the griddle. Usually if you cover the lid, there is no need to turn it over and cook other side.
Serve it hot with sambar or any type of chutney and batata palya. You can also fill this potato palya inside the dosa while removing from the griddle.
