Masala dosa

Love masala dosa,kids just love the taste of it so do elders.When i used to search on internet i found many of the recipes with many different combinations of rice and urad daal,but i just stick to a old recipe i had read long back.The ingredients with Rice ,Parboiled rice and urad daal.Par boiled rice is also available in indian supermarkets they are called Kuduklakki(ಕುದುಕ್ಲಕ್ಕಿ ) in kannada.

ingredients for Masala dosa,
Par boiled rice-1 cup
sona masoori rice-2 cups
urad daal-1 cup

Soak all the ingredients in water for 7 to 8 hours and grind this into batter.I usually  divide the soaked ingredients into 3 parts and grind it with almost 1/2 a cup of water for each batch and ferment it overnight(8 hours).Add 1 tbsp of salt to the fermented batter.

Ingredients for the garlic chutney spread for the dosa,

• 1/4 cup- fresh grated coconut
• garlic pods-3(skin peeled and chopped)
• urad daal-1 tbsp
• Salt and Red Chilli powder - According to taste.
• tamarind juice-2 tbsp(I usually soak tamarind for 1 hour and take the juice out of it ).Remember if you are using tamarind extract use only a pich of it and dilute in  2 tbsp of water .

1. Roast the urad daal in a pan and make powder out of it.
2. To this add tamarind juice ,coconut and garlic pods and grind it well in a blender along with salt and red chilli powder.
