1 cup whole urad daal, skin removed (Black matpe beans polished)1 tablespoon methi (Fenugeek) seeds3 cups leveled rice flour (I use laxmi brand raw rice flour)5 cups of water(I used 1 and ½ cups for grinding daal and the remaining for final batter)2 teaspoons of salt or to tasteInstructionsMaking Batter:Wash and soak urad daal and methi seeds in 3 cups of water for 4 to 6 hours.Drain the soaked urad daal and without rinsing add this to mixer or food processor. Grind using little water as needed to make a smooth batter. (I used 1 and ½ cups of water for grinding daal)Add rice flour into a big bowl and add water as needed and mix well with your hand, whisk or spoon so that no lumps remain. Add the ground daal and remaining water if any.Let it ferment for 8-10 hours. You know its fermented when you see tiny bubbles and when the batter increases in volume.Making Dosa:Add salt to the batter. Heat a flat griddle / Tava on medium high heat. Using a flat laddle, pour the batter in the center of griddle and flatten it from the center towards outside in concentric circles.Add oil, butter or ghee(clarified butter), ghee is anytime better. Wait for it to cook and turn crisp. Once the desired crispiness is achieved, fold it into half or roll it and place it on a plate. Don't cook the other side since that will make it soft.Serve this with chutney, sambhar (lentil curry) or spicy potato.NotesIf the batter is too thick and you have difficulty spreading it, add some more water.Fermentation depends on how warmer the room is. I store my batter in my turned off oven or microwave. I let the oven light stay on for an hour. The longer the batter stays outside, it will become more sour. If you don't plan on making dosa, transfer the dosa batter into the refrigerator.
