Dosaay or Dosa, when I hear that word my mouth waters, at least, I would say for most of the south Indians it would right?\u00a0 If you got the batter ready your breakfast is easy peasy.\u00a0 Just like Idlies it is comfort healthy and classic. A must breakfast in every south Indian home with lots of variations. If I make the batter once it stays up to almost a week and we can make as many variations as we like.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t kept the batter for a week usually 3 days max and a minimum of 2 days at most.<\/p>\n

Back home in Bangalore we have lots of Darshini\u2019s and exclusively Dosa joints who make just Dosa, there is always a big crowd, any time of the day.\u00a0 When you spread the Dosa on the tawa (Girdle) whole house is filled with the aroma and all I can say is you just can\u2019t say no.\u00a0 The bile juices are aroused and fill your tummy making you run to the kitchen.\u00a0 That\u2019s what my children say!<\/p>\n

Every morning at least 4 to 5 times I need to keep calling them to come down and have their breakfast. I mean \u00a0Literally break the fast as they don\u2019t get up until past 12 (that\u2019s when they have their holidays). \u00a0When it's Dosa they come running down when they get the aroma of Dosa right into their Duvet.<\/p>\n

When I say dosa their next question is \u2018\u2019amma jothegenoo\u2019\u2019 (what\u2019s with it?) aloogadde palya maadideeyaa?\u00a0 (Have you made potato curry to go with it?)\u00a0 Standard question and answer which they ask and answer themselves.\u00a0 Because\u00a0I don\u2019t have to because they know I would definitely make it!\u00a0 Do you know why my children love to go to India just to eat masala dosa their first preference then visiting the family, Last time when we visited almost 4 days in a week we had breakfast outside, I thought my mum had some time off from her cooking spree up and early in the morning so she can plan and cook leisurely our Lunch and Dinner :). \u00a0Every time when we visit India and every hotel they visit especially my twins - one orders Dosa and the other Idli.<\/p>\n

When they come home from Uni now, the first thing they text me is Amma make Dosa\/ Idli.\u00a0 Especially my son thinks I am the loveliest\/greatest\/awesome etc etc, mum in the universe on every morsel he eats. My girls keep laughing and tell me amma he is buttering you up. \u00a0 He brings out all the Adjectives possible to praise me.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/a><\/p>\n

So, all this started because of these twins from past 2+ years.\u00a0 I make a lot of readymade stuff at home for my hubby who keeps travelling even though he loves Dosa and Idli he prefers to take something he can cook quickly like a one pot meal.\u00a0 When my children left for Universities I started worrying about their food habits, especially my son who loves south Indian food, my daughter she manages with pasta but not him.\u00a0 He needs his rice and sambhar at least once in a day.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I started planning to make readymade food and freezer meals.\u00a0 I cook and freeze some meals so that they can just take it out and warm them up (and I keep filling up their freezer now and again!)\u00a0 I make readymade Idli batter and Dosa batter because they did not like the shop bought ones, unfortunately.\u00a0 This Dosa batter seems to be close to the home-made authentic Dosa batter so my children say that's their verdict.\u00a0 That\u2019s what my family say!\u00a0 I had never thought of sharing it.\u00a0 One of my friends asked me as she liked it when she had it at my place and suggested why not post it on the blog.\u00a0 Sometimes I get scared to post thinking people may not like it or if it is not up to the mark, but as my friend said \u2018\u2019Jay you can\u2019t please everybody, at least, it may be useful for some, go ahead and post it\u2019\u2019 my kids wanted me to share it as they said, it\u2019s useful for their friends too. I have a few fans because of my children's friends. \u00a0I will share some of my ready-made mixes.\u00a0 Keep checking my blog for updates.\u00a0 So here is my recipe.<\/p>\n

I would like to tell you before that it is not the original authentic batter which is usually soaked for few hours and had to get fermented before use.\u00a0 This is nearly there.\u00a0 Tastes good (I won\u2019t say great because I want you to try and tell me if it is really a great recipe).<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/a><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/p>\n

2 1\/4 cups of Rice flour
\u00bd Cup Urad Dal flour (I use readymade powder)
\u00bd Cup Aval\/Poha
\u00bd Cup fine Semolina (Upma Rava)
1 tbsp powdered Methi flour
4 tbsp of Gram Dal flour (Besan flour)
1 tsp Eno fruit salt (check my notes)<\/p>\n

METHOD:<\/p>\n

Dry Roast the rice flour, Gram flour and Urad Dal flour for few minutes, until it is slight warm enough.\u00a0 Allow it cool down. Then dry roast Aval and Rava (Semolina) until they are warm enough as well.\u00a0 Allow it cool down as well.<\/p>\n

Once Aval and Rava is cooled down grind them to a very fine powder and then mix it with other flours.\u00a0 To this add Eno fruit salt and sieve them 2 to 3 times until they are well blended together.\u00a0 I pack these in small air tight pouches so they can use one pouch at a time.<\/p>\n

TO MAKE DOSA BATTER<\/p>\n

To the above mix, you can add water as much is needed to make it into a Dosa batter consistency and add salt as required and proceed to make Dosa as is usually done.\u00a0 This Dosa turns out to be very crispy and has a good colour as well.<\/p>\n
