Dosa

There are a no. of varieties in Dosa. Here, I am giving the recipe of plain dosa.
Preparation time: 12 hrs
Working time: 30 min.
Serving size: 5-6 members
Ingredients:
Split black gram: 1 cup
Rice: 2 cups
Salt to taste
Oil: 2 tbsp
Method:
Soak black gram & rice overnight.
Grind them separately into a smooth paste by adding sufficient water.
Mix these two and add salt.
Add water if needed. The consistency of the batter should be that of a ketchup roughly or a little bit diluted.
If the batter is left out for 4-6 hrs, it ferments and dosa tastes good.
Now heat a flat, circular frying pan.
When it is hot, sprinkle little amount of water on the pan and pour half a cup of batter on it ; and spread the batter from centre towards the periphery with a cup shaped spoon.
Pour small amounts of oil over the periphery of dosa.
When it is cooked ( takes around 3-4 min on medium heat), remove it with a flat spoon.
Serve hot with chutney.
