Sada Dosa

🇮🇳 Indian

A proper tiffin-plate sada dosa — fermented batter, patient steam and the smell that fills every South Indian morning. 40 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 20 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Rice2 cups
  • Urad Dal1 cup
  • Fenugreek Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Neutral Oil2 tbsp
  • Rice Flour1/4 cup

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the soaked rice and dal to a smooth batter; ferment overnight for that tangy lift.

  2. 2

    Heat a cast-iron griddle until a drop of water dances; pour a ladle of batter and spread it thin.

  3. 3

    Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and cook until the base turns lacy and golden.

  4. 4

    Flip, cook 30 seconds more, and fold onto the plate — crisp outside, soft within.

  5. 5

    Serve with sambar and coconut chutney.

Chef's tip

A pinch of baking soda just before steaming rescues a slow batter.
