Dosa
Recipe: Ada Dosa
Many homemakers have their signature way of making the ada dosa as they think about various permutations of proportions of the basic ingredients. The end result leads to a crispy and crunchy dosa which children like a lot.
Ingredients
Chana Dal: 100gms Tuvar/arhar dal: 100 gms Urad dal: 100 gms Rice: 50 gms Salt to taste
Method
Soak all the ingredients chana dal, tuvar dal, urad dal and rice for about 3 to 4 hours. Make a fine paste of the soaked dalrice mixture in a grinder. The results will be good if the water in which you have soaked the dal and rice is used for grinding the mixture. Add some 50 to 100 ml extra water while making the paste if you think the batter will become too thick. After achieving the desired consistency, add salt to taste. Keep the batter aside to settle for about 15 minutes. Once you are all set with chutneys and sambar, you can start making the ada. First heat a non stick flat tawa. Sprinkle some oil on it and spread the oil evenly. Then use a flat bottomed small katori and spread the batter onto the tawa evenly. Start spreading the batter from the centre and go on till it spreads out. Add a little oil to all the corners (in this case since it is a circle you would have to add the oil across the perimeter!). Once you spot the dosa turning golden yellow in colour you can take it out of the tawa and serve along with coconut chutney or sambar either way you like.
