Ingredients:
– 4 cups Kuzhi Vedichan rice
– 1 cup urad dal
– 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
– Water for soaking and grinding
– Salt to taste
– Oil for cooking dosai
Instructions:
1. Wash and Soak: Begin by thoroughly rinsing the Kuzhi Vedichan rice and urad dal together under running water. Place them in a large bowl and add fenugreek seeds. Cover with enough water and allow them to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Grind to Batter: After soaking, drain the water from the rice and dal mixture. Transfer them to a high-speed blender or wet grinder. Add fresh water as needed and grind into a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick yet pourable.
3. Fermentation: Pour the batter into a clean, large bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or lid and let it ferment in a warm place for about 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume. The fermentation process enhances the flavor and digestibility of the dosai.
4. Prepare the Dosai: Once the batter has fermented, gently stir it to combine. Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or skillet over medium heat. Grease the surface lightly with oil.
5. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer. Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa to crisp it up.
6. Cook until golden brown: Allow the dosa to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and turn golden brown. Carefully flip it over using a spatula and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
7. Serve hot: Transfer the cooked dosa onto a serving plate and serve immediately with your favorite chutney, sambar, or curry. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat and oil as needed.
8. Enjoy: Delight in the irresistible flavors and textures of these homemade Red Rice Dosai. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they are sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
