Description

Set dosas are small soft spongy dosas. They are called set dosas as it was always served in a set of 3 with coconut chutney and potato curry. In this dosa batter, the qty of beaten rice added is more.

Note

1) I ground the dosa ingredients in a mixer grinder. It will warm the batter very soon.
2) If the weater is very hot the batter will ferment in 5 to 6 hours as rice flakes are added.

Quantity Name
1  CupIdli rice
0.25  CupBlack gram dal
1  PinchFenugreek
0.5  CupBeaten rice flakes
  Salt to taste
2  Tbsp.Ghee (clarified butter)
0.5  CupWater (approximate)

Method

1) Soak rice, black gram and fenugreek overnight, after washing.
2) Soak beaten rice flake for about 30 minutes.
3) Then grind to a fine paste with water. I used only 1/2 cup water. You may increse or decrease the qty of water according to the consistency of batter. Anyway do not pour the entire water at one go.
4 After fermentatio, the batter would be risen.
5) Heat a pan. I use an iron pan. When hot, smear the pan with little clarified butter.
6) Pour a ladleful of batter (about 1/4 cup) and spread if the batter is very thick, only lightly. It is not really necessary to spread. Cook on the lowest flame with lid on. Dosas should be soft and spongy.
7) Once its cooked, flip over and cook lightly till brown spots appear. After flipping cook only for a very short time.
9) Remove and spread clarified butter on top.
