Instructions

• Wash and soak the raw rice for at least 2 hours.

• Spread the soaked rice on a cloth or paper towel and let it dry for about 40 minutes in the shade.

• Once dry but still slightly cool to the touch, grind to a rava-like flour. Set aside.

• Wash and soak whole black urad dal for at least 3 hours.

• Drain and grind to a smooth paste with a few tablespoons of water.

• Add ½ cup of water to the rice flour and mix.

• Add the urad dal batter and the remaining cup of water. Mix until you reach dosa batter consistency.

• Add salt, dry ginger powder, pepper powder, and curry leaves. Mix thoroughly.

• Adjust consistency with more rice flour or water as needed.

• Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa, and spread oil/ghee around the edges.

• Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, then flip and cook for another 45 seconds until both sides are golden.

• Serve with chutney, sambar, or podi.

Notes

1. You can grind the raw rice and urad dal together and cook like regular dosa.

1. Azhagar Kovil Dosai is thicker but can be spread thinner if preferred.

1. Water quantity may vary depending on the quality of rice and urad dal. Adjust as needed.

1. Use generous amounts of ghee for authentic flavor.
