Mysore Masale Dose

Prep Time:       About 15-20 mins for grinding and 2-3 mins for cooking each dosa;
Makes:              About 10-12 dosas;

Ingredients:

For Dosa Batter
(I have ground this batter in mixie)
1 cup urad dal
3 ¼  cups rice
¼  cup chana dal
2-3 tbsp methi seeds
2-3 tbsp thick poha
1 tsp Ghee/Butter/Oil for each dosa
Salt as per taste
 

Method:

1.         Soak the dal, rice, methi seeds with enough water for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
2.       Grind the soaked ingredients  along with washed poha with enough water to a very smooth paste; But keep in mind not to add too much water and make the batter water.
3.       Allow batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8-10 hours; Make sure the container has enough room for the batter to rise.
4.       Add salt to the fermented batter and mix well.
5.       Place a non stick griddle on medium heat,  Once hot, pour a ladle full of batter at the center; With the back of the ladle, spread the batter thinly; Start from the center and work outwards, in a fast circular motion;
Note: Spread the batter as soon as you pour it on the griddle; The batter will start getting cooked other wise and stick to the ladle, if you try spreading it after a while.
6.       Pour few drops of ghee/oil all over the dosa and also at the edges; Let cook on medium heat until it turns golden brown in color.
7.       When the dosa is almost done, smear a spoonful of red chutney on the inside of the dosa.
8.       Spread a ladle full of masale on one side of the dosa; Fold the dosa so that the masala and chutney are on the inside.
