Toor Dal Dosa

No Fermentation, Instant Dosa-this phrase amazes every Indian who has ever stood in a kitchen. The word instant captivates every cook in the world.

Are you thrilled to know the recipe-Toor Dal Dosa

It doesn’t involve fermenting, so it can be cooked immediately after the grinding process. You can somewhere relate it to Adai, a South Indian pancake but it differs in its ingredients, consistency, texture, taste and crispiness.
This recipe, I inherited it from my aunt who never fails to feast us with this dosa, every time we visit her. Once you try this, you’ll become addicted to its taste as my family.

Pro-tips:

For variation, add finely chopped shallots or onion, curry leaves or mint leaves, or moringa leaves.
The inclusion of both idli & raw rice adds texture and crispiness to dosa, don’t skip it. As I mentioned early, this is different from Adai (a South Indian pancake) in its texture and consistency. Texture-rice is ground into a slightly coarse texture (not too coarse like Adai) and dal is ground into a fine texture.

Consistency-the batter should be runny, not like Adai which has a thick batter.

Toor Dal- 1 cup+1 handful
Idli/Parboiled Rice-1 ¼ cup
Raw Rice-1 ¼ cup
Cinnamon-1”
Cloves-3
Fennel seeds-1 tbsp+1 tsp
