Step 1

Wash and soak the 4 cups of Idli rice and one cup of black urad dal for about 7 - 8hours. Soak a tsp of fenugreek seeds in a small bowl for 2 hours.

Step 2

Clean the wet grinder and add the washed dal along with fenugreek seeds. Grind dal for half an hour by sprinkling water to it. It will raise up much more than the deskinned urad dal.

Step 3

Remove from grinder and follow with washed Idli rice. Ground until they are in a smooth consistency.

Step 4

Mix the dal and rice batter together along with salt. Let it rest to ferment for 8 hours or overnight.

Step 5

Heat a dosa pan and spread a ladle of the batter in a circular motion. Drizzle with gingelly oil and allow it to cook.

Step 6

Flip over the other side and cook for another 2 mins. Serve hot with any spicy chutney of your choice. We had Coconut- Garlic Chutney.
