Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw rice pachari
  • 3/4 cup grated coconut
  • 3 cups + 1 cup water
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for basting

Instructions

  • Wash and soak the rice for 4 hours. Drain.
  • Add the rice along with the coconut and 3 cups of water and grind till the mixture is really smooth. It should not be grainy.
  • Pour into a pan. Add one cup of water and blitz the grinder to clean the jar.
  • Pour the water into the batter, add salt and whisk well. The batter should be of pouring consistency.
  • Heat a non-stick pan till nice and hot. Drizzle a little oil and rub it all over.
  • Take a ladle of batter and pour. Spread it quickly.
  • Close the lid and allow it to cook for around 5 minutes on small flame or till done. The dosa will lift up from the pan and will be non-sticky when touched. Do not allow it to brown.
  • Fold in the middle, and then to the sides and allow to cool on a plate before transferring it to a hot pot.
  • Repeat till the batter is done. Serve warm with a side dish of your choice.

Notes

You can add a handful of cooked rice while grinding the batter. I do it if I have rice available in my fridge.
