“Urad Dal- Moong Dal- Oats Polo (Black Gram Dal- Green Gram Dal- Oats Dosa)” served with Coconut Chutney and Potato-Onion Bhaji … after preparing soft spongy Idlies with this batter I prepared dosa for today’s breakfast with some batter and they turned out crisp outward and soft within … It tasted delicious with chutney and bhaji as accompaniments … Yummilicious ….
** Yesterday I had shared Idlies prepared with this same batter and to try out dosas I had kept aside some, surprisingly they too turned out delicious, crispy outward and soft centered. Usually I prepared panna doddaka with Idly batter as I keep the rice texture thicker which gives good results in Idly, doddaka and ramdana while dosa being smooth textured is appropriate for preparation of dosa or appos.
** However, as this batter was of urad and moong dal only which was ground smooth I decided to try out dosas and trust me it was heavenly almost close to masala dosa when relished with chutney and bhaji. In all a dosa that is sure to be repeated often in my home for sure. As I have already included the recipe on Idly post I am just sharing links, with short explanation, do try this out, its just too good.
** Here is my method of preparing “Urad Dal- Moong Dal- Oats Polo (Black Gram Dal- Green Gram Dal- Oats Dosa)” … the batter recipe for which is already posted, so sharing the link below ….
** For Preparation of Dosas : After fermenting the batter, check the consistency and add water if required as it may turn out thicker. However, do not make batter too thin as even though the batter is thicker like that of Idly batter, when applied the dosa on getting cooked turns crisp and well fried. Mix batter in clockwise direction well, at least for 2 minutes and it is ready to be prepared into dosas. Heat an Iron tava, you may use any, I always use Iron ones as they always give best result and is healthier too.
** Once tava is hot, lower the heat to minimum, apply oil+ghee all over tava and rub lightly with a tissue paper or cloth, so that the tava gets evenly coated with oil. However, do not rub off the oil from tava, just spread it with the tissue evenly to retain thinly. Using a deep rounded ladle that holds about ½ cup of batter, pour it on center of tava and then with the rounded bottom gently spread it into a round dosa of say about 8-10 inches in diameter gently, do not press the ladle too much on tava or it will tear.
** Raise the heat to medium and sprinkle some oil+ ghee all round the rim of the dosa and some on the top too. Let cook till the bottom side is done and the upper surface too cooked and not wet to touch, now gently with dosa spatula loosen and flip it over. Let the dosa cook on the top side too, this dosa is cooked on both sides, when done remove with spatula and check out that both sides are done if not cook for few more minutes.
** Do try to get the upper and lower sides slightly crisp as shown in the picture. Gently remove dosa and put it on serving plate and then proceed to remove rest of required number of dosas with the batter in similar way. Season tava and rub with tissue paper every time to ensure that the dosa comes off perfectly and crisply done.
** Note : The heat when adding dosa on tava should be minimum ie. low, then it should be raised to medium and cooked throughout on medium heat, you may check and raise or lower the heat to maintain as required taking care to see that dosa is not burnt. If you find that the tava has turned out too hot and you are running short of time to wait for it to cool down, in such times, sprinkle water on the tava to bring down the temperature, be careful as the water splutters, but gives good results.
** “Urad Dal- Moong Dal- Oats Polo (Black Gram Dal- Green Gram Dal- Oats Dosa)” is done and ready to be served. Always serve Idly steaming hot and dosas hot-n- crisp directly from tava. Tastes awesome served with any side dish/ chutney/ curry/ butter/ pickle of your choice. I had this batter prepared for Idlies which I saved some to try out dosas for breakfast the following day. I served it with coconut chutney and potato onion bhaji and it was excellent. Do try out this healthy dosa and enjoy with family.
