The Entire Process of Dosa Making consists of 3 main stages.
  • first-washing and soaking process.
  • Second-grinding and fermentation.
  • Third-bringing Dosa batter to correct consistency, Roasting Dosa and Serving
LET’S BEGIN;

Washing and soaking process for the making of crispy saame dosa.

  • Take the measured quantities of Little Millet, Rice, Whole Urad, and Fenugreek seeds in different bowls and wash each of them 2-3 times.
  • Soak them separately in sufficient (3-4 times) water.

  • Keep it for at least 5-6 hours soaked.

Grinding and fermentation for crispy saame dosa

After soaking for 5-6 hours, wash once more and strain the water completely.
  • Now in a mixer grinder or wet grinder, put whole Urad and Fenugreek seeds. (soaked)
  • Run the grinder for about 2-3 mts or till it turns to a fine paste.
IMG 4493
  • Now you can add soaked Rice and millet.
  • Add enough water to run the grinder.
IMG 4495
  • Do not make the Batter too thin or watery. (this is because after fermentation as is the consistency changes).
  • Grind the paste till you find the Batter is fine. (when tested between fingers)
  • You can stop the grinding process at this time.
  • Remove it in a big bowl, so that it has enough space for fermentation.
  • Add salt and mix it nicely.
IMG 4499
  • Keep it covered, overnight in a warm place for the fermentation process.
    If you fill 3/4 portion of the bowl, the next day after fermentation you will see the Batter raises almost to the top of the bowl.
  • This is because air gets incorporated during fermentation, and raises the Batter, making it soft and light.

Bringing  crispy saame Dosa batter to the correct consistency, Roasting Dosa, and Serving

  • The next day, add salt and mix it lightly.
  • The batter should be of pouring consistency. ( but should not spread by itself when put on Dosa pan.)
  • If you feel the batter is too thick, you can add little water and mix.
  • Now heat a Dosa pan.

  • When it is hot, sprinkle some water or wipe the pan with a wet cloth. (wiping is a better option) 
IMG 4509
 
Tip;This process of wiping the hot pan with a wet cloth, brings down the temperature of the pan so the batter sticks to the pan when you spread it. 
This results in a Crispy Dosa.            
  • Put a ladle full of Dosa Batter in the center of the pan and spread it with the help of the ladle, in a circular motion to make a nice round Dosa.
  • Put some oil on the dosa and also on the edges.

  • Reduce the heat and cover for about 30 seconds.
