HI,
First u have to soak the dal (urdu dal in hindi- ) and rice seperately in the water for minimum 5 hours then grind both separately to a smooth paste add salt and mix together and keep it for over ngt for to ferment (overngt or minimum 8 hours ), take it in the morning and u can start making the dosa. The consistency for dosa should be something like chocolate sauce (or Tomato sauce )
Ingredients ..
1 Cup of Urdu dal ( Black Gram cleaned in english )
2 1/2 cup of raw rice (use normal raw rice. no Basamati for this).
water for grinding
salt to taste.
Ps. Places like Himalayas in winter ,it is problm for fermenting..so u can do ur own innovation like adding little bit of yeast or curd when u mix the paste..
Adding one teaspoon full of Methi seeds with dal , gives u a special falvour..also a golden colour.

The Potato filling is used for Masala Dosa. (giving u the simplest Masala)

Potato - Medium sized 4
Onion - Medium sized 2 (finely cut )
Green chillies-4 (finely cut)
Curry patha,
Dhaniya patha or ( Criander leaves) [ optional -]
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon full
Oil - 1 table spoon
Turmeric Powder - 1 teaspoon
salt to tase
Method
Boil the potatos and mash and keep aside.
Take a frying pan , pour the oil and put the mustard seeds.,curry patha.then put the onion and green chillies and cook for 3 min add turmeric powder cook for another min and add the mashed potatos & salt mix well and cook for 3 min . remove from the fire and put the chopped dhaniya patha and keep it aside. Let it cool a bit then u can make dosa and fill the potato mix and eat hot

Variations :-
we can add many other veg , like Carrot, fresh peas, french beans, etc.. if u like ...a mixed veg masala dosa.

Many thanks for this recipe. will try out one day soon
Now I got it...the mixture of rice to daal should be 2.5 to 1..
and I figure that special potato taste is due to mustard seeds
Dosa rocks, no doubt about it. It is the best breakfast one can have!
Oh, pardon my ignorance...is this a recipe for masala dosa or plain dosa?

Bigzero

Right!

Idlis come a close second! ( or the other way, depending on who makes it )



p.s. why does this page show coca-cola ads? are dosa an coke related?

Note: it took a Dosa thread to get me back to the posting mode once again - was unbelievably busy recently...
