Instructions
1) In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sooji (semolina), 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt.
2) Add 1½ cups of water and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3) Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes.
4) After resting, stir in 1 medium chopped onion, 3-4 chopped green chilies, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, and 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
5) Add an additional 2½ cups of water to the batter.
PRO TIP: The consistency should be like buttermilk—thin and flowing easily from a ladle.
6) Preheat a tawa or flat pan on high heat for about 2 minutes, then reduce to medium-high heat.
PRO TIP: Sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface—if they sizzle and evaporate immediately, the pan is ready.
7) Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and wipe it with a paper towel to lightly grease the surface.
8) Hold a ladle of batter about 6–7 inches above the pan and pour it in a circular motion, starting from the outer edge and moving inward. The batter should spread naturally and form small holes, creating a lacy pattern.
9) Cook on medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown and the edges become crisp.
10) Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges and a few drops in the center.
11) Fold or roll the dosa and serve hot with tomato or coconut chutney. Enjoy!
