Method of preparation
- Wash the rice, black lentil or urad dal in clean water.
- Soak the rice, Urad dal and the fenugreek seeds for 3-4 hours.
- Keep it overnight or for 8-12 hours in a room temperature and this would help in fermentation.
- Once it gets fermented, add some salt for the taste and use some water if required. Mix it really well. The consistency should be a little thinner as it would make thin and crispy dosas
- Heat a tawa in a medium flame and grease it with some oil.
- Once the tawa is hot (if we get an oozing sound on sprinkling some water), pour 1 ladle of dosa batter in the middle.
- Use the back of the ladle and flatten the dosa batter to a big and thin circle. Now, add some ghee around the dosa.
- After 5-10 seconds, use the back of the ladle and slowly flatten the portions where we have more batter. After 1-2 minute, the bottom portion of the dosa gets cooked.
- Use a spatula and make a cut from the centre to the side of the dosa. Use a low flame and wait for the dosa to become crispy and attains golden brown colour in the bottom side.
- Now, take out one edge of the dosa where we have made a cut and roll it to form a cone shape.
- Serve this hot Ghee Roast, Ney Roast or Ney Dosa with sambar and chutney.
