Making Dosa is a common thing in every South Indian house. there are many varieties of dosas with different flours and flavors. Normaly in Tamilnadu and Karnataka people use par boiled rice to make dosas. This parboiled rice give a fluffy texture to dosa and when you spread this batter very thin these dosas will turn in to very crisp. In Andhra pradesh we use raw rice to make dosas. With this raw rice dosas won't turn that much crisp like parboiled rice dosas. You can make soft dosas with this raw rice batter.
Normally we soak rice and urad dal 1:2 proportion for 6 hours then grind in to a smooth paste. Here my grandmother (nanamma, fathers mother) and my mom makes this dosas little different way. They soak the raw rice for 24 hours then drain all the water and pound that wet rice in a stone pestle (rolu) in to a fine powder and mix this rice powder to urad dal paste. Believe me these dosa turn soft and more delicious then what regularly I make. In my childhood there are no gas stoves my GM used to make this dosas on a kerosene stove. She starts making them 7o clock in the morning and she ends up at 10 o clock in the morning. Now amma is making with the same recipe. Last month when I was there in ammas place, she made this dosas for me with coconut chutney. Here you go with the recipe..
INGREDIENTS:---
Raw rice --- 2 cups
Urad dal --- 3/4 cup
salt to taste
Oil for making dosas
METHOD:---
1. Soak rice for 24 hours, drain all the water and pound in a stone pestle or a dry mixer or in a dry blender in to a fine powder. Remove in to a big bowl and cover and set a side.
2. Soak urad dal in water for 3 hours and grind in to a smooth paste.
3. Now take 3 cups of raw rice flour in a big mixing bowl.
4. Add salt to taste and 2 cups of water and make a paste like fitter batter consistency.
5. Add urad dal paste to this raw rice flour paste mix well to combine to gather.
6. Set a side to ferment for over night.
7. Next day morning heat a skillet or a dosa pan, pour 1 ladle full dasa batter and spread this batter in to circle, drizzle little oil along the edges and let it cook for 1 minute.
8. Then flip the dosa other side and cook for a while.
9. You can make this dosas as thin as you want and if you make them little thick they turn out soft dosas.
