By yash, on February 8th, 2007% here is my recipe for dosa batter after years of extensive experiments on the streets of hyderabad,chennai,pune ,bombay,and fancy restaurants in london,and most of all the maestros in saravana bhavan/dasa dosa, and kamats on lamington road.
- rice-1kgs
- white urad dal-250 gms
- chana dal-10 gms
- methi seeds -2 gms
- salt- to taste
- sugar- a little bittle if the batter gets to sour, or isnt colouring enough
soak all together, for abt an hr.then grind with minimal water till a fine batter is obtained.keep in a covered container for atleast12 hrs.tropical climates lesser.cold places keep near the radiator/or in an heated oven- set it at 100F, and keep door ajar.
next day tra la la la.
now all u need is a seasoned tawa/flat grill/whatever.and for for further instructions,pls make a payment of $ 34.99 at the site

baki enjoyed best with thengai thovial,kotthumaali chhamanthi, or takkali thoviyal(for all the north indians this is simbly coconut,coriander or tomato chutneys).since i dont like masala dosai, i will resist giving recipe for potato bhajee, for the same, and for the longest time possible.
