Instructions
Preparation
Rinse the white rice and urad dal separately and soak them in water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
In a separate bowl, soak the fenugreek seeds in water for 6 hours or overnight.
Cooking Steps
Drain the water from the rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds. Add them to a blender with some water and blend until you get a smooth batter. Add more water as needed to get a pourable consistency.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl, add salt to taste, and mix well. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours or overnight.
To make the stuffing, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds and sauté for a few seconds.
Add chopped onions and green chili and sauté until the onions turn translucent.
Add turmeric powder . Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste and mix again. Remove from heat.
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the center of the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
Drizzle some oil around the edges and cook the dosa for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown and crisp.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
