ABOUT Podi Dosa RECIPE

I was hooked to this yummy dosa when I had at one of the South Indian restaurants here. So gave it a try. This particular dosa is served, generously sprinkled with idli podi (gunpowder), but I have used Andhra special Nalla Karam Podi, but you can go in for any homemade idli podi too.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 cup raw rice
1/2 cup urad dal (split black gram lentil)
1/3 cup boiled rice
1/4 tsp. fenugreek seeds
salt to taste
nalla karam podi / any idli podi as required
oil to shallow fry

Instructions

Soak the first four ingredients overnight. Then grind to a smooth paste by adding some water. Add salt and mix well. Keep it aside in a warm place overnight to ferment.
To make the dosa, heat a non-stick tawa / griddle and grease with a little oil. Sprinkle some water and after it sizzles off, wipe dry with a clean cloth / kitchen towel.
Now pour a ladleful of the batter and spread it in a circular motion. Drizzle some oil over it and around the edges. Cook for a minute on one side.
Then sprinkle some podi all over the dosa and 1 tsp. of oil. Fry for a minute more and then transfer to a serving plate.
Make similar podi dosa with the remaining batter and relish with coconut chutney and sambar.
