Dosa's and Puda's
Adai(with white or brown rice)
Total Time : 24 hours
Cook Time : 10-15 mins
Prep Time : 5 mins
Cool Time : NA
While dosa's are very tasty they are not that healthy considering the amount of rice that goes into it. When looking for a crepe with more protein an adai is a good option๐
Ingredients:
2 cups of rice (brown or white, I just use basmati rice)
1/2cup urad dal
1/2 cup channa dal
1/2 cup yellow moong dal
1/2 cup toor dal
4-5 tbsp salt
5-7 dried red chillies
2 tbsp flax seeds
2 tbs chia seeds
Steps:
Rinse and soak the rice and dal's separately in water , making sure that there is enough water
Next morning drain the excess water and grind the dal's , red chillies flax seed and chia seeds till its fine - it grinds very well in a Vitamix
Next grind the rice with some water draining the excess . Grind the rice a little coarse
Mix the two and add the salt, Mix that well into the batter
The batter should be of pouring consistency
Keep in a warm place for 3-4 hours
Batter is ready
To make the adai's heat a thick iron tawa, make sure its prepared so it doesnt stick
Put some oil on it and wipe it away with bounty sheet
Once heated up take a ladle and pour the batter in the middle and start spreading the batter from the middle outwards
Keep spreading in circular motion clockwise till it is spread in a round shape and distributed evenly and very thin
When the adai is done on the bottom side its going to start leaving the bottom of the pan
Pour a couple of drops of vegetable oil on the side and top after
Gently flip, cook on the other side for a couple of minutes
Serve the dal, vegetable curry, coconut chutney https://www.meri-rasoi.com/recipes/chutneys-and-podis#h.5kyqu629rc6g

Who doesnt love a good masala dosa. Now you can make your own from scratch๐
Ingredients:
2 cups of rice (brown or white, I just use basmati rice)
1 cup urad dal
4-5 tbsp salt
Steps:
Rinse and soak the rice and dal separately in water , making sure that there is enough water
Next morning drain the excess water and grind the urad dal till its fine - it grinds very well in a Vitamix
Next grind the rice with some water draining the excess . Grind the rice a little coarse
Mix the two and add the salt, Mix that well into the batter
The batter should be of pouring consistency
Keep in a warm place to rise so that it ferments
I usually leave the oven light on in the winter and the batter rises in 6-8 hours
Once the batter starts rising you can mix well and transfer to the fridge
You can make dosas the next day or even idlis.
To make the dosas heat a thick iron tawa, make sure its prepared so it doesnt stick
Put some oil on it and wipe it away with bounty sheet
Once heated up take a ladle and pour the batter in the middle and start spreading the batter from the middle outwards
Keep spreading in circular motion clockwise till it is spread in a round shape and distributed evenly and very thin
When the dosa is done on the bottom side its going to start leaving the bottom of the pan
Pour a couple of drops of vegetable oil on the side and top after
Gently flip, cook on the other side for a couple of minutes
