One of my friends,Lakshmi gave this vendhaya dosai one day along with onion chutney.I have never before tasted such a spongy dosai without urad dhal in it.Usually there will be urad dhal and some fenugreek seeds to get the spongy texture.But this dosai has only 2 ingredients in it, Idli rice and vendhayam.
Now back to the ingredients.
5cups Idli rice
1cup vendhayam/methi seeds/fenugreek seeds
- Wash the rice and soak both the rice and vendhayam together for minimum 4 hours.
- Grind them in a mixie/blender/grinder to a nice smooth batter.
- Allow it to ferment for 12 hours.I live in colder place.It is on the colder side most of the year. :) I usually allow it to ferment for 12 hours.Adjust the time according to the place where you live.Usually 6-12 hours will be ideal for fermentation.
- The batter will be little bit thick.You could add enough water to make it to a little thinner consistency.
- start making dosai little thick.You won't be able to spread like a normal dosai batter.
Enjoy the vedhaya dosai with onion chutney ! It is a killer combination :)) I bet you won't be able to stop with one dosai !!!!
