The next morning, drain all the water from the rice and urad daal and grind by adding water to a smooth paste,add salt to taste and keep the Dosa batter aside in a warm place for 6-8 hours. After fermentation, stir the batter well. It is now ready to make Dosas.

Fill the ladle with Dosa batter,gently pour this batter onto the center of the pan, now begin to spread the batter in circular motion to form dosa. after spreading the batter out on the pan, drizzle the oil all on the surface of dosa and also around its edges. Allow it to cook for 2minutes, then flip it and take it out from the flame........The Dosa is done......serve it with peanut chutney or red chilli chutney.
