How to make Vendhaya dosai with step by step images

1. In a bowl add urad dal, idli rice and fenugreek seeds together. Wash 3 to 4 times until you see clear water. Soak it in enough water for 5 hours.
   
2. After 5 hours, in a wet grinder add little quantity of the soaked urad dal, idli rice and fenugreek seeds. Switch on the grinder, when it starts grinding gradually add little by little of all the soaked items. Also scrap the inner sides of the grinder often to get rid of coarse rice mixture using the scrapper provided along with grinder.
   
3. Grind the mixture into a smooth batter with adding water in regular intervals when needed. I used around 11/2 cups of water for grinding but it may vary according the soaking time. But the measurement is just a guideline to get a perfect batter.
   
4. When done grinding transfer the mixture to a bowl, add required amount of salt and mix well Allow the batter to ferment for 8 to 10 hours.
   
5. In the morning mix the batter really well and check the consistency. It should be flowing like regular dosa better. I you need to add little water you can add to get the right consistency.
   
6. So lets take look at the first method of making dosa. Heat a tawa, pour a ladle of batter in tawa and spread it thick like medium sized pancake. The holes in dosa indicate perfect fermentation of batter. Drizzle some oil in the sides and cook in medium flame. When sides brown flip dosa gently and cook the other side too in medium flame. When the both sides look done transfer it to a plate and serve it hot with sambar/ spicy chutney.
