My Mom makes this dosa once in a month.It has a nice flavour and a different taste.I love this dosa very much.. It looks black but its taste and health benefits are amazing !! We use Broken Black Gram with skin to make the batter.If u don’t get the broken ones , just run the whole black gram in the mixie once or twice to break it.
It tastes very good with Onion-Garlic Chutney & Coconut Chutney..
Wash & Soak rice for 2 hrs and black gram(with skin) for an hour .
Take fenugreek seeds in a separate bowl and soak it for 2 hrs.
Grind black gram(with skin) & fenugreek seeds first by adding enough water (We use the soaked water itself so that the batter will be soft).
Grind till it comes out like a ball(should be a paste) (It takes nearly 20 mins in table-top wet grinder).
Take the batter.Keep it in a vessel.
Add the rice & Salt with required water.
Add water in between If necessary.It should become a smooth paste (May take 25-30 mins in table-top)
Now take the rice batter and keep it in the same vessel.
Mix it thoroughly with your hand.(This helps for fermentation)
Let the batter ferments overnight or at least for 12 hrs.
Batter would be slightly black in color. Here is the picture of batter ..
Take a ladleful of batter and spread out a thin dosa on hot tawa.Sprinkle some oil.Flip it .
Flavourful , Soft Kurunai dosa is ready to be served hot with Onion-Garlic chutney & coconut chutney mixed with sesame oil !!
