Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Non-stick griddle or tawa
- Ladle
- Spatula
Ingredients
Dosa Batter
- 1 cup semolina (rava/sooji)
- ½ cup rice flour
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 cup sour curd (yogurt)
- ½ cup water (adjust as needed)
- ½ teaspoon Eno fruit salt (or baking soda + ¼ tsp citric acid)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, sour curd, and ½ cup water.
- Whisk until smooth; add more water if needed to reach a pourable, pancake-like consistency, then add salt and mix again.
Cooking
- Just before cooking, sprinkle Eno fruit salt over the batter and gently mix until it fizzes and becomes light and airy.
- Heat a non-stick griddle over medium-high heat, then lightly grease it with oil or ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot griddle, keeping it slightly thick for a spongy texture.
- Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and on top, cooking for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, edges are golden brown, and the top looks cooked.
Serving
- Gently lift the dosa with a spatula; optionally flip and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Remove and serve immediately; repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the batter once the Eno fruit salt is added. Serve hot with chutney or sambar for a complete meal.
