Cooking Time: 15 minutes.

Makes 10 dosas.

Ingredients : 

½ cup raw rice (chawal)
¾ cup urad dal (split black lentils)
½ cup rice flour (chawal ka atta)
Salt to taste

Coconut chutney
Sambhar

Instruction :

1. Wash and soak the raw rice and urad dal separately for 3 to 4 hours and drain well.
2. Combine the rice, urad dal and rice flour and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste using enough water to get a batter of thick pouring consistency.
3. Add the salt and mix well. 
4. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly using ghee. 
5. Sprinkle a little water on the tava (griddle) and wipe it off gently using a cloth. 
6. Pour a ladleful of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a 225 mm. (9") diameter thin circle.
7. Smear a little ghee over it and along the edges and cook on a high flame till the dosa turns brown in colour and crisp.
8. Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 9 more dosas.
Serve immediately with coconut chutney and sambhar.
