Tips & Storage:

  • Any rice variety can be used for this recipe.
  • If you prefer to, you can add methi / fenugreek seeds / menthulu at the start for soaking itself.
  • Water measurements are just perfect to get the crispy plain paper dosa. Just follow the recipe till the end.
  • The above measurements makes 12 to 15 dosa / crepe approximately.
  • Fermentation: In summers I just put the bowl on my kitchen platform. But in winters I prefer to put in the oven, which is pre – heated for 5 mins & then switched off.
  • Adjust the salt & oil usage as per your taste.
  • Mix the batter thoroughly, for every dosa/crepe before pouring the batter onto the pan.
  • You can roast the dosa as per your desired taste. Some prefer to be soft, some like it crispy while some like white coloured.
  • Storage: This batter can be stored in fridge up to 8 – 10 days. You need not thaw, just use it directly.

    Will try the dosa. Although I’m South Indian was always afraid to try it in case it got spoilt. Looks very easy Praveena. Thank you.

    White rice kon sa hota hai ,plz share link of white rice on amozon ,if possible ,i have no idea of white rice

    1. Sure, I will add the link & let you know. You can use Sona masoori or basamati rice.

    I am very excited to try this! However, I don’t see how I could cook rice and lentils with equal amounts of water and not burn it if is cooking for 3-4 hours…. Do you add water as it cooks down on the stove? When I cook rice and dal even just to serve I always have to use more water than rice and also dal or it will burn just after it is done cooking in only 20-40 mins.

    1. Hi Jayanti, I guess you are a bit confused with this recipe and some other recipe. There is no cooking required for this recipe. Could you please read the full instructions and see the pics that I have given for each. And do get back to me. Thank you.
