My granny used to make two delish dosas for us using a simple lentil batter, instantly, without fermentation. One was a simple, crispy, favourful, tiny dosa you see in the picture above. And the other crispy dosa was made in a wok after seasoning.
I loved both these tiny dosas since childhood as they were crispy and had an amazing flavour of ginger and spice from green chillies. I can personally eat them as-is. Make tiny, thin, crispy dosas for your kids and everyone at home. I'm sure they'll all love it equally.
These lentil dosas are called doddak meaning thick dosas in Konkani. They are also called udha doddak in Konkani meaning urad dal dosas.
These lentil dosas are made by grinding split black lentils. The lentil batter is then mixed with rice/wheat semolina, pounded ginger and green chillies to make crispy dosas. No fermentation's required to make these dosas. You can make dosas straight away, but with 3-5 hours of fermentation, you get nice, soft dosas. They turn out the best with 3-5 hours of fermentation. We don't want a well fermented (7-8 hours) batter to make these dosas.
The batter for this dosa is same as the batter used to make idli. And any leftover idli batter was made into these dosas. So, now you know what to do with any excess idli batter you have. There's another crispy, tasty dosa you can make using idli batter, it's called as phanna doddak.
Here’s how to make these dosas:
Ingredients:
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 50 minutes, No fermentation required
Preparation Method:
Side Note:
You can make these dosas using wheat or rice semolina but I prefer them made with rice semolina (idli rava, rice rava) as they turn to be more crispy than when made with wheat semolina (sooji rava).
