Kal Dosai With Chettinad Chutney

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.

Soft looking dosas and I love the chutney very much. I love chettinad cuisine and i'm bookmarking this. How about linking this to the Scrumptious breakfasts event in my space. See you had forgotten all about it.

I see that you have got back the side bars. This is much more elegant.

veena,
I tried the recipe. It came out very well, so soft and the chutney is also very tasty. Thank you once again.
Whatever said 'saare jahanse achcha, south ka idli dosa hamara'!!

Hi Veena, I made this for taste and create and as you said it is a keeper for sure. Loved the spongy dosas with the chutney. I have posted this in my blog today.
