Ingredients Serving: 3

Dosa batter 1 cup
Salt a pinch
Idli / dosa podi ( gun powder ) 3 tablespoons
Sesame oil 2 tablespoons
For the dosa batter :
Idli rice 3 cups
urad dal 1 cup
White poha soaked 1 cup
Fenugreek seeds 2 tablespoons
Ice water for grinding the batter .

Instructions

Batter preparation :
Wash , clean and soak idli rice for 5 hours . Add fenugreek seeds to it while soaking .
Wash , clean and soak urad dal for 2 hours . Last one hour , refrigerate .
Soak white poha for 30 minutes .
While grinding the batter , grind the rice first . Urad dal heats up the machine so finishing the rice first is always better .
Then add urad dal and poha and grind using ice water . If the urad dal heats up , the Dosas wouldn’t turn soft and spongy .
Mix the batter using your hands for better fermentation .
Leave it overnight for fermentation .
Heat a small inch pan . Pour one ladleful batter and shake the pan so that the batter spreads
into a medium thickness dosa . Smear a teaspoon of sesame oil . The pan should be hot , before
Pouring dosa . The lower side is cooked and upper side has no liquid. Now take a tablespoon of podi
Idli chilli powder and sprinkle over the dosa . The quantity is as per your taste .
Cover the pan with a lid for a minute so that the dosa becomes soft and cooks evenly .
We will not flip the dosa in this podi dosa version . Serve hot .
Softy podi dosas are ready to serve .
