Ingredients - Serves 4
- Vegetable oil - As needed for cooking

- Water - 2-3 cups

Let's Get Started
- Soak the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Drain the water and grind the mixture into a smooth batter, adding water as needed.
- Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- After the batter has fermented, add salt and mix well.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and quickly spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin crepe.
- Cook the dosa until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
- Serve the dosa hot with chutney or sambar.
