🛒 Ingredients
- Wheat Flour (Godhumai Maavu) – 2 cups
- Rice Flour – 1 cup
- Asafoetida (Hing) – a pinch
- Green Chilies – 2 to 3, finely chopped
- Curry Leaves – a few, finely chopped
- Cumin Seeds (Jeera) – 2 tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Water – as needed (approx. 3 to 3½ cups)
- Oil – for cooking
👩🍳 Instructions
Mix the Flours
In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, rice flour, hing, and salt. Mix well.Add Water & Blend
Slowly pour in water while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. You can use a blender if preferred. Scrape down the sides to incorporate all dry ingredients.Adjust Consistency
First bring the batter to regular dosa consistency. Then dilute it further until it’s watery, like rava dosa batter.Add Flavor
Stir in chopped green chilies, curry leaves, and cumin seeds. Taste and adjust salt or spice if necessary.Heat the Tawa
Heat a dosa tawa (griddle) until it’s very hot. Sprinkle a few drops of water — it should sizzle immediately.Pour the Batter
Pour the watery batter from the edges inward in a circular motion. Do not spread with a ladle — let it naturally form holes and lacy patterns.Adjust if Needed
If batter doesn’t pour easily, add a little more water. It should flow like thin buttermilk.Roast the Dosa
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges. Cook on medium flame until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp.Flip and Cook (Optional)
Flip and cook the other side for about a minute if needed. Press gently to crisp the base.Serve Hot
Serve immediately with your favorite chutneys or sambar.
🌟 Tips
- Add finely chopped onions or grated carrot to the batter for variety.
- For spongier dosas, keep the batter slightly thicker.
- Stir the batter between each dosa to prevent settling.
- If dosas stick, reheat and grease the tawa well before the next pour.
