Equipment

  • Mixer Grinder
  • Tawa
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Black Gram (Whole Urad Dal) 1 Cup - 250ml
  • 2 cups Raw Rice any short grain raw rice like ponni, sona masoori
  • 1 tablespoon Peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds

Instructions

Soaking

  • Take black gram in a vessel. Add water to soak the dal. Soak for 6 hours or overnight.

Grinding Batter

  • After 6 hours, drain water from soaked black gram. Take the black gram in mixer jar.
  • Grind it to thick paste by adding water little by little. Do not add too much of water in the beginning. The soaked dal has moisture in it. So grind it initially without water and then add water little by little as and when we need to get a smooth thick batter.
  • Take this batter in a mixing bowl. Next take the soaked rice in the mixer jar. Grind it to smooth batter by adding water little by little.
  • Add the rice batter to the black gram batter. Add salt and stir well to combine black gram batter and rice batter.
  • Cover & set aside for 4-6 hours.

Finishing Batter

  • Take pepper, cumin in a mixer jar and grind it to coarse powder.
  • Add this pepper-cumin coarse powder to the batter. Also add ginger powder, curry leaves and stir well.

Cooking Dosa

  • Heat a cast iron tawa, add 2 tablespoon of ghee. We can add oil instead of ghee.
  • Pour 1 ladle full of dosa batter and spread to thick dosa like uthappam.
  • Cook the dosa in low flame till the bottom layer becomes golden brown. Then flip and cook on the other side.
  • Remove the cooke dosa and repeat the above 2 steps for the rest of the batter.

Serving

  • Delicious Azhagar Koil Dosa is now ready to serve! Relish with idli podi or coconut chutney or sambar!
