Ingredients

3 cups Rice flour
1 cup Urad Dal flour
1½ teaspoon Salt
2-3 cups Water
1 teaspoon Butter

Instructions

To make the dosa batter

In a bowl mix together rice flour, urad dal flour and salt.
3 cups Rice flour, 1 cup Urad Dal flour, 1½ teaspoon Salt
Add in water as needed to form a batter.
2-3 cups Water
Ensure there are no lumps and the consistency of the batter is thicker than pancake batter.
Leave the batter in a warm place to ferment for 8-10 hours. It is super easy to make the batter in the Instant Pot using the 'Yogurt' function.
Once the batter is fermented, ensure the consistency is maintained. In case the batter is too thick, add some more water and mix well. The batter can be refrigerated for 4-5 days.

To make the dosas

Heat a cast iron griddle or tava. Add some butter to grease the tava.
1 teaspoon Butter
Take a ladle full of batter and spread it evenly on the griddle. Let the dosa cook till it is light brown.
Flip over, add some more butter and cook for a couple of minutes.
Serve the dosa with Sambar, Cilantro Coconut Chutney and Tomato Onion Chutney. It tastes best when enjoyed warm.
