Instructions
- Wash the rice and urad dal together. Soak along with the red chillies for 4 hours.
- Soak the poha in little water until soft just before grinding.
- Drain the water from rice and urad dal. Add to a mixie jar along with red chillies, tomato, poha, cumin seeds, pepper, asafoetida and salt.
- Grind to a smooth batter, adding little water only if required.
- Heat a dosa tawa and take a ladle full of batter. Spread into a thin dosa and drizzle some oil.
- Once the dosa is cooked and turned brown and crisp, flip the dosa and cook the other side.
Notes
- I prefer the dosa to be little spicy, if you prefer less spice, reduce the red chillies.
- Use ripe red tomatoes that are slightly tangy.
