Idli rice 3 cups
urad dal 1 cup

Wash , clean and soak urad dal for 2 hours . Last one hour , refrigerate .
Soak white poha for 30 minutes .
While grinding the batter , grind the rice first . Urad dal heats up the machine so finishing the rice first is always better .
Then add urad dal and poha and grind using ice water . If the urad dal heats up , the Dosas wouldn’t turn soft and spongy .
Mix the batter using your hands for better fermentation .
Leave it overnight for fermentation .
Heat a small inch pan . Pour one ladleful batter and shake the pan so that the batter spreads
into a medium thickness dosa . Smear a teaspoon of sesame oil . The pan should be hot , before
Pouring dosa . The lower side is cooked and upper side has no liquid. Now take a tablespoon of podi
Idli chilli powder and sprinkle over the dosa . The quantity is as per your taste .
Cover the pan with a lid for a minute so that the dosa becomes soft and cooks evenly .
We will not flip the dosa in this podi dosa version . Serve hot .
Softy podi dosas are ready to serve .
