Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 and 1/2 cups raw white rice
  • 1/2 cup grated fresh coconut (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • oil for brushing

Instruction

  • Rinse raw rice well with water. Soak the rice in 4 cups of water for 10-12 hours.
  • Drain the water and add the rice to a blender along with coconut and ¼ cup of water.
  • Blend to make a very smooth batter. Scrape the sides of the blender a few times while blending.
  • Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl and add 1 teaspoon salt to it. Mix well to combine.
  • Now add 3 cups of water to the batter to make it really thin. The consistency of the batter should be like milk.
  • Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat.
  • Brush it with very little oil.
  • Stir the batter well and pour a ladleful of it from the outside towards the inside.
  • Pour more batter in the gaps.
  • Note – If while making the dosas, they are not coming lacy and with pores, that means your batter is thick. Add some more water to it.
  • Cook the dosa uncovered for 2 minutes or until it is set. Once you start seeing the edges leaving the pan, the dosa is ready.
  • This dosa is white in color and is soft not crispy.
  • Fold the dosa in half and then into a triangle.
  • Serve hot with any chutney or curry.
