Dosa

Method

1. 1 Soak the rice with urad beans and fenugreek seeds for 6 hours, then grind it until very fine.
2. 2 Fenugreek seeds are a natural leavening agent that helps dough rise; without them, the dough won't rise and the bread won't be crispy.
3. 3 Let the dough rise for 8 hours until it doubles in size and develops a slightly sour smell.
4. 4 Heat the cast iron pan until very hot, then grease it and wipe off the excess oil with a damp cloth.
5. 5 Pour a ladleful of batter into the center and swirl the ladle in a circular motion from the inside out.
6. 6 Drizzle oil around the edges and fry for 3 minutes on each side without flipping; the pancake should be crispy and evenly golden brown.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 35 min

  Replace step 6: Pour the batter into a thin layer in a greased round pan, air fry at 200 degrees for 7 minutes, and flip at the 6th minute to crisp both sides. The soaking, proofing, and preheating steps from steps 1 to 5 remain unchanged.
