How to Make Masala Dosa

1.Wash and soak the rice in one container and the dal and fenugreek seeds together in another container for 5-6 hours or over night, depending on the weather.

2.Grind dal mixture together to a very smooth consistency. Next grind the rice smooth too and mix the two batters.

3.Add salt and enough water to make into a dropping consistency. Leave to ferment over-night or more depending on the weather, till a little spongy.

4.If thickened too much, add a little water to thin a bit. Heat tawa, and brush oil over it. When really hot, splash a little water over it, and immediately pour batter onto it, spreading it thin, with a circular motion.

5.This will have to be very swift and will need a bit of practice.
