Preparation :
Wash and soak rice and black gram with fenugreek seeds separately for three hours at least.
Method :
1. Start grinding the black urad dal with fenugreek seeds first by adding little water in frequent intervals. When the bubbles starts to appear and the batter is fluffy, it's done. Then transfer the urad dal batter to a separate vessel.
2. Then filter the water completely from soaked Idli rice and grind by adding water little by little. Grind it till smooth.
3. Transfer the rice batter to the same vessel where urad dal batter is transferred and add required salt. Mix well with your hands. Let it ferment for overnight or at least eight hours. Next day the batter should be raised as shown (right hand side image).
4. For making dosa's ,Heat a tawa, spread the dosa thin in circular motion. Cook it for 2 minutes. Once done flip the dosa and cook it for a minute. Remove from the pan once done.
Serve the whole black gram dosa with curd, chutney or Sambar of your choice.
Notes:
- Skip salt for babies below one year.
- The batter will be little watery after grinding as we are using mixie. Next day after fermentation, it should be okay.
- Use cold water to grind in order to avoid the motor heating.
- Always use hands to mix the batter that helps in better fermentation.
- Fermentation time will be more if you are living in a cold country.
- You could make this dosa's thin or thick as per your preference, in both the ways it tastes good.
- Always check with your pediatrician before giving any new food
