Mix Dal and Rice Dosa
by Tarla Dalal

Really satiating and super tasty, this Mixed Dal and Rice Dosa is an amazing dish to have for breakfast as it will keep you full for a long time and also give you a good dose of nutrients, especially protein.

The batter for this dosa is made by combining rice and whole wheat with four different types of dal. This gives the dosa a fabulous texture and a homely, traditional flavour too.

With a dash of spices, this dosa tastes good just by itself, but add a cup of sambhar or chutney to the meal to make it tastier.

Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl, add the salt and mix well. Cover it with a lid and keep aside to ferment in a warm place for 12 hours.
Once fermented, add the chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander and mix well.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), sprinkle a little water on the tava (griddle) and wipe it off gently using a cloth.
Pour a large ladleful of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a 175 mm. (7”) diameter circle.
Smear ¼ tsp of oil over it and along the edges and cook on a high flame till the dosa turns brown in colour and crisp from both the sides.
Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make 9 more dosas.
Serve immediately with sambhar.
