Masala Dosa..!!

My family and friends love the yummy crispy masala dosas..
So I usually make the dosas during weekends so that everyone can relish it at leisurely! :)
There are many versions of making masala dosa batter.
I follow the below recipe and it works well..
You can give it a try too...

For batter,
Soak the below
1 cup raw rice
1 cup boiled/salem rice
1/2 cup urad dal (uddina bele)
1/4 cup channa dal (kadle bele)
few grains of methi seeds.

Soak rice and dals separately.
This should be soaked for a minimum of 4-5 hours.
I usually soak in the morning and grind the batter in the evening, so that the batter will ferment by next morning... fresh and foamy.. for delicious dosas... :)

Batter should not be thick. It should be slightly runny.

Once batter is fermented well, it is time to prepare the famous masala dosa.
