For poha dosa

  • 1 tbsp urad dal
  • 2 cup buttermilk
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar - optional
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • Oil or butter for roasting
  • For red chilli-coconut chutney
  • 1 cup grated coconut
  • 2 tbsp roasted chana dal
  • ½ tsp ginger pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 6 soaked kashemiri red chilli
  • Pinch of hing
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 piece tamarind
  • ½ cup water or as required

For chutney tadka

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp urad dal

  • 2 dry red chilli

Instructions

Making poha dosa:

  • In a mixing bowl, wash poha, rice, and urad dal. Then add buttermilk and mix well. Soak the mixture for 3 hours.
  • After soaking, transfer the mixture to a blender jar without adding any water. Grind it into a smooth and medium-thick batter.
  • Pour the batter back into the mixing bowl.
  • Add salt, sugar, and baking soda to the batter. Mix well and whisk for 2 minutes.
  • Heat a tawa (griddle) and sprinkle water on it. Wipe off the water with a cloth to cool down the temperature of the tawa.
  • Take 2 small ladlefuls of batter and spread it evenly on the tawa.
  • Apply oil or butter on the dosa and roast it on medium flame until crispy.
  • Serve the crispy dosa with spicy red chutney.

Making red chilli-garlic chutney:

  • In a blender jar, add grated coconut, roasted chana dal, ginger pieces, garlic cloves, soaked Kashmiri red chillies, hing, salt, tamarind pieces, and water. Grind it into a smooth paste.
  • Transfer the ground paste into a mixing bowl.
  • In a tadka pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, and red chilli. Sauté them.
  • Pour the sautéed mixture into the mixing bowl with the ground paste.
  • Spicy red chilli-coconut chutney is ready to serve.

Notes

  1. Raw rice gives crispiness to dosa.
  2. Do not add water while grinding the batter.
  3. The consistency of the batter should be medium-thick and pouring.
  4. Decrease the tawa temperature and lower the flame while spreading dosa.
  5. Cook the dosa on medium flame until it becomes crispy from both sides.
