Make this easy instant dosa batter using following ingredients instead of making the fermented batter that needs to be ground and takes overnight soaking of lentils used.
4 cups idli rice flour (I have used just normal rice flour and that works ok too)
2 cups urad flour
1 cup soaked soft poha that has been mashed up
1/2 cup urad daal roasted and ground in a coffee grinder for the flavor
1/2 cup of rava
2 table spoons of salt
2-3 teaspoons of baking soda
2-3 big cups of yogurt
1 teaspoon of lime juice
Water as needed
Mix all above ingredients, adding water slowly while folding in all the flours evenly and mashing up the poha so that it is not lumpy when incorporated into the batter
Add water to make smooth batter consistency. As you mix the batter you should see the little bubbles of aeration from the baking soda.
Leave aside for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat a pan, use oil spray to grease evenly or oil that's spread out to coat the pan
Add the batter and tilt the pan around to spread the batter evenly
You can make the dosa as thick or thin as you want--I make thicker doses called poley or set dosa in some parts of the south.
If the dosa is sticking, adding a handful of rava in the batter, mix it for the next dosa or wait longer to flip it
Use medium heat to make the dosas
Serve with coconut or cilantro chutney (I make a quick chutney ground well in the blender with grated coconut, green chili, coriander/ cilantro leave, salt and sugar which is then given tadka with mustard seeds, red bedgi mirchi and urad daal).
Enjoy!
