Kal Dosai with Chettinad Chutney

Taste and Create is an event that I am a part of for many years. This month I was paired with Veena of Veg Nation. I was really confused in selecting a recipe as I had already bookmarked quite a few earlier.Finally, I settled on this south Indian breakfast…

My folks have been talking about this kal dosai for quite some time now and so I made this to see how they like it. The dosas were really soft and spongy and paired well with the chutney.This recipe is a keeper for sure.We enjoyed this breakfast Veena 🙂

I used:
Recipe Source – Veg Nation

Raw rice – 1 cup
Parboiled rice- 1 cup
Whole white dal -1/2 cup
Fenugreek seeds- 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste

Soak the raw rice and parboiled rice together for 3 hours.
In another vessel soak the urad dal and fenugreek for 3 hours.
Drain the water from the rice mixture and grind to a smooth batter adding little water in a wet grinder / mixie.Remove this into a large vessel.
Next grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds to a fluffy batter adding very little water.
Remove this into the vessel containing the rice batter.
Add salt to this mixture and mix well.
Let it ferment overnight.
The next day, gently mix the risen batter and pour a ladle full of batter on a heated griddle. Do not spread.
Cover and cook till bubble appear and they will break and form small holes.Do not flip them over .
Remove from heat and serve hot.
