collage of 9 different varieties of dosa recipes.

Tips to get well fermented batter and get crispy golden dosa –

1 – Soaking & Grinding the ingredients – soak the rice and urad dal, methi and chana dal separately for 6 hours. Grind it to a fine paste, use a high power blender or wet grinder.

2 – Fermenting the batter – fermentation is extremely important when making dosa batter. If you live in cold place you can ferment the batter in the oven with or in the instant pot. I have been fermenting my batter in the instant pot and this method gives me consistent results every single time.

3 – Using a cast iron skillet to make the dosa – cast iron skillet heats the pan uniformly and will give you crispy golden crust dosa.

1- Jini Dosa

To make the dosa – heat a cast iron skillet, spread oil and wipe it around the tawa. Take a ladle of the dosa batter and spread it evenly. Keep the flame at low and cook for 30 seconds. Now add onion, bell pepper, cabbage (optional), tomato, butter, schezwan chutney, and garam masala (or pav bhaji masala). Mash it and spread it evenly. Add grated cheese and close the lid. Cook for a minute or until the cheese melts. Make sure you are not burning the dosa. Cut the dosa into 4 vertical strips, roll them and serve it hot.

Jini Dosa can be enjoyed as is or with chutney of your choice.
