Toor Dal Dosa

This toor dal dosa recipe was passed on to me from my mom. I thoroughly enjoy this dosa. Hope you do too :) 

Ingredients

• 3 cups of rice
• 1.5 cups of toor dhal
• 2 tsp of urad dhal
• 6-7 red chillies
• 1 tsp jeera (cumins seeds)
• 1 tsp of coriander seeds
• 1/4 cup if coconut (optional)
• Salt 
• 1/4 tsp of cooking soda 
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup of coriander leaves and curry leaves

Method:

• Soak toor dal, urad dal and rice in water for about 4 hours. 
• Grind the soaked rice, urad dal and toor dal, red chillies, jeera, coriander seeds and coconut by adding 1/2 cup of water and blend to a smooth batter and leave it overnight. 
• Next morning mix onions, coriander leaves, curry leaves, salt and soda to the batter.
• Now, grease a dosa tawa. Heat it well on a medium flame. When tawa is hot enough, pour 3/4 ladle of batter to the center and quickly spread it to a thin dosa. Cook on medium heat and drizzle some oil on the top and edges. 
• When dosa is cooked, flap and cook the dosa on the other side until brown spots appear. 
• Remove the dosa to the plate, serve hot toor dal dosa with curds or ghee. 

PS:  Instead of blending the batter with jeera, coconut, coriander seeds and red chillies you can temper the below ingredients and mix it to the batter next morning. 

• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tbsp curry leaves chopped finely
• 2 tbsp coriander leaves
• 1 cup onion chopped finely
• a pinch hing
