Instructions

Making instant dosa

  • In a mixing jar, combine 1.5 cups of cooked rice, 1 cup of rava, 1 cup of curd, ¾ cup of water, salt, and ½ tsp of sugar. Grind until smooth. The consistency of the batter should be medium-thick and flowing.
  • Transfer the ground batter to a bowl and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • The batter is now ready. Adjust the consistency by adding 1-2 tbsp of water if it's slightly thick, or 1-2 tbsp of rava if it's too thin.
  • Now, add ¼ tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of lemon juice to the batter. Mix well.
  • Heat a tawa, sprinkle water, wipe it with a cloth, and cool down the temperature.
  • Take 1.5 ladles of batter, spread it on the tawa, and cook on medium-low flame.
  • Apply oil on the dosa and roast until crispy. Roll the dosa and serve hot.
  • For masala dosa, pour a ladle full of batter on a heated tawa, spread it thin, and cook.
  • When the upper surface becomes dry, add oil, chopped onion, capsicum, coriander leaves, red chilli powder, chaat masala, and black salt.
  • Fold it when crispy and serve hot with chutney.

Making Green Coconut Chutney:

  • In a mixer jar, combine ½ cup coconut pieces, ¼ cup peanuts, ¼ cup roasted chana dal, 2 chopped green chillies, 8-10 mint leaves, 10-15 curry leaves, ½ inch ginger, 1 piece tamarind, salt to taste, ¼ cup coriander leaves, and ¾ cup of water. Grind until smooth.
  • Transfer the chutney into a bowl.
  • For tempering, in a tadka pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp urad dal, some curry leaves, and 1 dry red chilli. Sauté and add the tempering to the chutney. Mix well.
  • Serve the green coconut chutney with instant dosa.

Notes

  • The proportion of rava and curd should be equal.
  • Do not add more batter while grinding dosa batter.
  • A pinch of sugar helps to give a brown color to dosa.
  • The consistency of dosa batter should be medium-thick and free-flowing.
  • If the dosa batter is thick, then the dosa will not be crispy. Add 1-2 tbsp water and adjust the consistency.
  • If the dosa batter is thin, the dosa may break while spreading it. Add 1-2 tbsp rava and adjust the consistency.
  • Sprinkle some water on the hot dosa tawa to decrease its temperature.
  • Cook the dosa on medium flame until it becomes crispy on both sides.
