Plain Dosa Or Paper Dosa

>> May 11, 2009

This is a regular & popular dosa which is a favourite in every house hold in south india & also the easiest-to-make.  There are various different kinds of ingredients everyone uses and hence the taste varies in Resturants and when made at homes.  But this is the regular breakfast in southindia. I want to share this simple breakfast.

This dosa is served with chutney and sambar.

  • Grind soaked ingredients with 1 cup of water and grind into a smooth batter 
  • Pour into large pan and add Salt (to taste). Close the lid and keep aside for fermenting (warm place) for about 8 hrs. (medium thick Consistency)
Method for Dosa

@ all thank you so much.... glad you liked dosa.

Renu : Thanks, it all depends on your batter thickness, if your batter is consistently thick enough, you get good round shape. Also, it matters with your stove, tava should be on low flame, so that when you pour batter on tava, it should not turn into crumbles. Also , Try putting oil first and batter on it or try without putting oil before pouring batter. I try both the ways.
