Barley Dosa

INGREDIENTS:

PREPARATION METHOD: ​

  • Wash barley, urad dal, and fenugreek and soak in water for at least 6 hours.
  • Once well soaked, grind the ingredients into a smooth paste, adding
  • enough water to make a fluffy batter. The batter should be thick enough. Transfer the batter to a bowl and place in a warm spot to ferment. The fermentation may take 8-16 hours, depending on room temperature.
  • The batter is fermented when it smells slightly sour and should also have risen.
  • Add salt and water as needed. The batter should be pourable consistency, similar to a regular dosa batter.
  • Heat a tava on medium-high heat and grease it with ghee or oil.
  • When the griddle heats up, pour a ladleful of batter right in the middle and spread it by moving the ladle in a circular motion. Make a thin dosa.
  • Cover and cook. After 30 seconds, remove the lid, spread oil or ghee on
  • the dosa, and continue cooking until it feels crispy. As the dosa is spread thin, there is no need to flip the dosa and cook further. Using a thin spatula, gently peel the dosa off the tava.
