Dosa "a fermented pancake" : An authentic south Indian dish

in food •  6 years ago  (edited)

Dosa is a type of pancake from the Indian subcontinent, made from a fermented batter. Its main ingredients are rice and black gram. Dosa is a typical part of the Southern Indian diet and popular all over the Indian subcontinent.
It is used to eat with sambar and different chutneys. As it is a fermented preparation so need some advance preparation. The process must be started a day before.
Few days before I bought Dosa rice but didn't prepare anything. Yesterday after reading @geetharao 's post about dosa I decided to make this.

Ingredients -

  • Rice 1 cup
  • Skinned split black gram 1/2 cup
  • Fenugreek seeds 2 tsp
  • Flattened rice 2 tbsp

Procedure

  • Wash thoroughly rice, black gram, and fenugreek seeds.
  • Soak all three in enough water for about 10 hours.
  • Grind to make a smooth batter. Add flattened rice at the time of grinding. The batter should be thick so add water cautiously.
  • Keep aside at warm place for fermentation. Fermentation time depends on temperature. In summer it will be ready within 6- 8 hours while in winter and rainy season it may take 10-15 hours to ferment.

  • After proper fermentation volume of batter will increase so the container should be taken of big size. Mix batter well before making dosa.

  • Heat a "Dosa Pan", it is a flat surface pan. add oil and spread batter uniformly in round shape.

  • Cook on low to medium flame and flip once cooked one side. Cook another side.

  • Serve hot with coconut chutney/green chutney/pickle or sambar. Traditionally sambar and coconut chutney are served with dosa.

I have never heard of a fermented pancake! This looks very tasty and easy enough to accomplish good results. @ameliabartlett and I do plenty of ferments - I think it’s about time to branch out to breakfast 🥞

I just posted about rice dishes and I asked about traditional rice meals in other countries.
Your recipe is very interesting!

Aha..what a coincidence. Before you asked I posted a traditional rice dish. ☺️ .

I love dosas. Some years ago, an indian friend made them at an impromptu luncheon - I was surprised how tasty they were. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
