Set Dosa I How to make soft Spongy Dosa at home

Dosas are integral part of the South Indian cuisine and it almost enjoyed every region in south, And most have them have their own version too.

Today I am sharing the recipe of Karnataka Davangere style Set Dosa, is a thick dosa that comes in a set of two / three. It is normally very soft and served with masala Poatato Sabji, Sambar and Chutney. And Loni also added, but in my dish i have addded butter as a replacement of it.

Serving: 03 Person

Cooking time: 10 Minutes

What we Need:

Idli Rice-1.5 Cup
Urad dal- 1/2 Cup
Fenugreek seeds (Methi)-1tsp
Poha/ Flattened Rice-1/2 Cup
Clear oil-2-3 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

Making Masala dosa batter

First clean all the ingredients and soak for almost 5-6hrs

1.5 cups Idli rice
½ cup urad dal
1tsp Fenugreek seeds

⅓ cup thick Poha in other bowl, this you can soak just 30miute before preparing the batter

Strain the water from the soaked lentils & Fenugreek seeds and keep it ready for grinding with Rice as well. You can also grind them separately and later you have to mix it.
The below picture will show us the consistency of the batter.

Keep the batter in closed container, at the same time keep some space left as it going to increase the volume of batter once it gets fermented.

Normally 7-8 hrs. is sufficient, I am going to keep it over night.

The batter the appears like this next day. I kept for about 12 hours as it is monsoons time in Pune.

Making Masala Dosa

Now lightly stir the batter, before you begin to make dosa. you will also see tiny air pockets in the batter.
Add some salt and some water. Below picture you can see the batter consistency.

Heat cast iron pan The pan should be medium hot. Sprinkle some water on it and wipe it off with muslin cloth.

Take a ladle full of batter and pour the batter on the pan and spread it evenly with the bottom round area. Keep the flame to a low, while spreading batter.

Spread to a diameter 4 inch.

When Dosa getting golden brown gently try to lift and flip the other side.

Serve softy and yummy Set Dosa along with Sambar and Chutney and Masala potato Sabji.
I gave Amul butter instead of Loni, if you have Loni you can use that on top of the Dosa.
