Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice
- 1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
- 0.5 teaspoons Fenugreek seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Water
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free ghee alternative
- 0.25 cup Oil
Instructions
Rinse the rice and urad dal well. Soak the rice and fenugreek seeds in one bowl and the urad dal in a separate bowl for 6 hours or overnight.
Drain the rice and blend with fenugreek seeds and just enough water to make a smooth batter. Transfer to a large bowl.
Drain the urad dal and grind to a smooth batter with minimal water. Mix with the rice batter.
Add salt to the batter and mix well. Cover and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume.
Once fermented, stir the batter gently. Add more water if needed to achieve a pouring consistency.
Mix the dairy-free ghee alternative with oil in a small bowl.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron tava (griddle) on medium-high heat. Grease lightly with oil.
Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the tava and spread it in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a teaspoon of the ghee-oil mixture around the edges and over the dosa.
Cook until the edges start lifting and become golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for a few seconds.
Remove from the tava and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the dairy-free ghee roast dosa hot with chutney and sambar.
