The perfect ingredient ratio for your dosa batter

Always start with good quality ingredients. Follow this ratio for the perfect batter: 2 cups of rice, 1/2 cup of urad dal, 1 tablespoon of chana dal (for that golden-brown colour), 1/2 teaspoon of methi seeds (for flavour and aroma), and 1/2 cup of poha (to make the dosa soft and light).

5 rules to remember while preparing the batter

First, wash the rice and dals at least 3 times before grinding. This makes the batter whiter. Then, soak all the ingredients in enough water for at least 5 to 6 hours. Remember to soak the poha only 10 minutes before you start grinding.

Grinding, Fermentation and Salting

When grinding, don't add too much water; the batter should be smooth like butter. For fermentation, let the batter rest for at least 8 hours or overnight until it rises well. This is crucial for taste. Finally, add salt to taste and mix gently just before you start making the dosas. ALSO READ:Quick and Tasty: 5 One-Pot Recipes Perfect for Stress-Free Weeknight Dinners

Here are some final tips. If you're using thick poha, soak it for 10 minutes. For thin paper poha, 2 minutes is enough. Before pouring the batter, check if the tawa is too hot by sprinkling some water and wiping it. You can also use this same batter to make delicious uttapams!
