Masala Powder Dosa
You can use this recipe as a substitute for Masala Dosa. You don't have a filling and you can use the Masala again for spicing up an otherwise plain Dosa.
Ingredients:
Raw rice-3 cups
Boiled rice-1 cup
Urad dhal-1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Oil for roasting
To make Masala Powder:
Corriander seeds-1 tbsp
Black urad ( full black gram) seeds-1 tbsp
Channa (Bengal gram ) dhal-1 tbsp
Asafoetida-1/2 tsp
Till (Sesame or Gingely) seeds-1 tsp
Dry chillies-8
Salt to taste
Grated dry coconut-1 tbsp
Dry roast Till (sesame) seeds in a small kadai. Remove and set aside. Put ½ tsp oil in the kadai. Add the other ingredients (except salt & dry coconut) and fry a little. Lastly add dry coconut or copra gratings and switch off the stove. Stir the mixture a little. When this mixture cools down, add salt and dry grind to a slightly coarse powder.
Method:
Soak raw rice, boiled rice and urad dhal together in water for 3 hours. Drain excess water. Grind these to a smooth batter. Add salt and allow the batter to ferment overnight. Next day, use this batter to make dosa on a pre-heated thick tawa.
Apply oil to the sides of the dosa and roast well. Sprinkle the Masala Powder ( as above prepared) on the dosa. Brush little oil on the dosa. Reduce the flame. Do not turn the dosa. Roast on only one side. Remove from heat and serve hot. Can be served with coconut chutney if preferred.
