Dosas are an integral part of the South Indian cuisine and almost every region in south, has their own unique twist to making the dosas. The Karnataka Style Set Dosa is a thick dosa that comes in a set of three when you visit any Darshinis or Sagars in and around the state of Karnataka.
Ingredients
-
2 cups Idli Rice
-
1/2 cup White Urad Dal (Whole)
-
2 teaspoons Methi Seeds (Fenugreek Seeds)
-
1 cup Poha (Flattened rice)
-
2 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Step 1
To begin making the Karnataka Style Set Dosa Recipe, we will first soak the rice and flattened rice/poha together in one bowl and the urad dal along with the fenugreek seeds in another bowl
Step 2
Soak them for at least 6 hours
Step 3
After 6 hours, grind the urad dal into a fine smooth batter
Step 4
While grinding add just enough water to make it into a very very smooth batter
Step 5
The batter will look fluffy
Step 6
Pour this batter into a large container
Step 7
Grind the rice and flattened rice into a smooth paste, adding just the required amount of water to grind into a almost smooth batter and thick batter
Step 8
Adding too much water will make the dosa batter too watery
Step 9
Combine the urad and rice batter, add salt to taste and set aside for at least 12 hours or overnight until the batter ferments
Step 10
You will notice the batter would have doubled in volume
Step 11
Do make sure you place the batter in a large container so it has enough room to increase in its volume
Step 12
Once risen in volume, stir the batter just a little to combine it through
Step 13
Take care not to stir it vigorously, as it will loose it fluffiness
Step 14
Heat a skillet over medium heat
Step 15
You will know its heat just right, when you sprinkle some water over the skillet, it will sizzle
Step 16
Pour a ladleful of batter over the skillet and allow it to spread on its own (just a bit)
Step 17
The set dosa is like a pancake
Step 18
It's a little thick and fluffy
Step 19
Cover the dosa with a lid and allow to cook in its own steam for a few minutes
Step 20
Once you notice the top is steamed and cooked through, you can remove it from the skillet and serve
Step 21
Proceed the same way to make the remaining set dosas
Step 22
Serve the Karnataka Style Set Dosas along with three different types of chutneys like Tomato Onion Chutney, Coconut Coriander Chutney and Ginger Walnut Chutney
