Crispy Dosa with Homemade Batter
Crispy Dosas are a staple of Indian cuisine, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any meal. Made from a homemade fermented batter of rice and lentils, these golden, thin pancakes are delightfully crispy on the outside and soft inside. Serve them with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite dips for a traditional South Indian experience. Our step-by-step recipe ensures perfectly fermented batter and dosa every time.
Cooking Method
- Prepare the batter: Soak 2 cups of rice and ½ cup urad dal (split black gram) separately for 4–6 hours.
- Grind the rice and dal separately into a smooth batter. Combine and add 1 tsp salt.
- Cover and let the batter ferment for 8–12 hours, or until it doubles in volume.
- Heat a non-stick or cast-iron griddle (tawa) over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle and spread it thin in a circular motion.
- Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy.
- Fold the dosa, serve hot, and enjoy with chutney or sambar.
