Hi
I learnt to make Kal dosai from my Mother-in-law.I have never tasted such a soft dosai until i came here. The flavour of the fenugreek in the dosai is so inviting:-)
INGREDIENTS
Raw rice 1 cup
Par boiled 1 cup
Black gram dhal 1/2 cup
Fenugreek seeds 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil as necessary
PREPRATION
Soak both the rice together in enough water for 3 hours
Soak the dhal in a vessel with enough water for 3 hours
Soak the Fenugreek seeds in little water for the same time
Wash the soaked dhal well, drain the water and grind it into a very smooth fluffy batter with minimum water.Take it out and keep it separately
Wash the rice and drain out the water. Grind it with the fenugreek seeds with the water that is soaked in. It givs a tremendous amount of flavour to the Dosai. Grind it to a very smooth batter
Now add the ground Dhal paste to this with the required amonut of salt. Run the grindr for a minute so that it mixes properly.
Cover the batter and leave it to ferment overnight.
Next day, Heat a Tawa or Dosai kal, Pour a ladle full of batter into it. Do not spreead it thinly.Sprinkle a tsp of oil around it.
Cover it with a lid and cook it on medium flme, till blubbles till holes start forming on top and it is cooked.
DO NOT FLIP IT OVER
Serve warm with Chettinad chutney or any other chutney of your choice.
