  • oil as required

To temper

  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Instructions

  • Rinse idli rice, toor dal and urad dal together well. Then soak 1 cup idli rice, 1/2 cup toor dal, 1 tablespoon urad dal, 3 red chillies in water for 4 hours.
  • If using small chillies add 6 chillies, I used the long variety so added only 3. You can soak then rinse too.
  • It should be soaked well.
  • Transfer this to a mixer jar along with chillies with a 1 inch ginger piece along with water.
  • Add water little by little to make a runny batter.
  • The batter should be very runny so add water later after grinding too.
  • Heat 2 teaspoon oil add 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, let it splutter. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds let it splutter then add 2 tablespoon curry leaves chopped and a pinch of hing.
  • Add 1 cup finely chopped onion along with salt saute until onions turn transparent.
  • Cool down completely then add it to batter.
  • Mix it well.
  • Add mixie rinsed water and little more water.
  • Mix well to form a runny batter like rava dosa batter. Add salt if needed.
  • Heat dosa tawa : Take a laddle full of batter, drizzle it in circular motion.
  • Fill in the gaps.The tawa should be hot only then holes will form while pouring the batter. Add more water if the batter is too thick.
  • Drizzle oil at the edges and inside.
  • Let it cook in medium flame until golden.
  • Flip over the dosa and cook till golden.
  • Fold and serve hot! Repeat to finish the batter.
  • Crispy toor dal dosa is ready!

Notes

  • If the batter is not runny then you cannot drizzle. But if you want to spread dosa then you can make a slightly thick dosa batter and spread it like our regular dosa.
  • Also tawa should be hot enough.
  • Adjust tawa temperature by splashing water on the tawa.
  • I would recommend using iron tawa to get a crispy dosa.
  • It is really not needed to flip over and cook as its thin it gets cooked faster. But if you like more crispy dosa then flip over and cook.
