For a SPICY DOSA version you can add few green chilies, dried red chilies, cumin seeds, ginger, pepper powder and  shallots while you grinding the soaked rice and lentils. It tastes nice, but my kid loves simple dosa without any spices. So i skipped adding those ingredients. 

PREPARATION








  • Wash the rice and lentils / dal well separately and soak them for 3 hours in a separate bowls.
  • When done, drain the water and coarse grind the rice dal mixture by adding little water.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl . (you can grind the above given spices together along with the rice dal mixture for a spicy dosa batter. I skipped that. It tastes good)
  • Now add water little by little and make a not too thick nor too thin batter. The batter should be slightly runny but not more.
  • To this add, finely chopped onion / shallots, hing and chopped curry leaves along with some salt to the batter. Mix well and set aside.
  • Now like masala dosa .....heat a dosa pan and grease it with oil if required only. For non stick pan, no need of applying oil.
  • Once the pan is hot, make the flame to medium low and add a ladle full of batter. Spread it with the back of the ladle in a circular motion.
  • After a minute, drizzle few drops of oil in the center and around the edges.
  • Flip the dosa when that side is cooked. Cook the other side for few minutes.
  • Serve hot along with Coconut chutney / Coriander chutney / Tomato garlic chutney
