Paper Dosa
Certainly! Paper Dosa is a popular South Indian dish known for its thin, crispy texture. It's a delight for those who enjoy a light, crunchy meal with a hint of fermented flavors.
Here's a simple recipe: Paper Dosa
Ingredients:
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 1/2 cup urad dal (black gram dal)
- 1/4 cup chana dal (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- Salt to taste
- Oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Preparation of Batter
- Rinse the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately. Soak them in water for 4-6 hours.
- Grind the soaked ingredients together with some water to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Add salt to the batter and mix well. Let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or overnight.
2. Making Paper Dosas:
- Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet or dosa tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle a few drops of water on the skillet. If it sizzles, the skillet is ready.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to make a thin, even layer. Drizzle oil around the edges.
- Cook on medium heat until the edges start crisping up and turn golden brown.
- Once the dosa turns crispy and golden, carefully fold it or roll it and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or any desired accompaniment.
3. Repeat the process
-for the remaining batter, ensuring the skillet is heated adequately before pouring the batter for each dosa.
*Tips for the perfect Paper Dosa:
- A well-fermented batter gives the dosa its characteristic taste and texture.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding water if it's too thick.
- The skillet should be hot enough to make the dosa crispy but not so hot that it burns quickly.
Enjoy the delightfully crispy Paper Dosa with your favorite sides!
