Tips

Dosa Batter/way of Roasting the Dosa:

  1. The equation of Rice-3 cups and Bengal gram-1 cup and little fenugreek is same as we make normal Dosa

  2. Soak Rice and Bengal gram for 4 hours grind them and keep it aside for 16 hours to get that sour taste.

  3. To get that street style Dosa grind the batter thick. Do not spread the batter till the corners of the tawa. Spread it only till the diameter that has flame beneath it.

  4. Use little more Oil and Ghee to get crispy Dosas .Roast them patiently and spread it with Red Chilli paste

Red Chilli paste:

  1. Earlier only red Chilli, Garlic bread and Salt paste were used to make these Dosas, but now I am adding a little Tamarind pulp. If you want extra Garlic you can add more, but I managed with the Garlic used in Gram powder.

  2. Add Chilli paste only after both the sides of the Dosa is roasted properly, or else it doesn't get crispy

Gram powder:

We usually make gram powder using Tamarind, Red Chilli, and Garlic. But I used only Garlic powder.

Bombay fresh pickle:

  1. This Bombay fresh pickle is largely made in Southern India, especially in Andhra. It is made in different styles in different regions. In Andhra, it is usually made of Tamarind pulp and Bengal gram flour, made into a smooth batter consistency.

  2. Remove it from the fire after getting only one bOil, or else it becomes too thick after cooling. Add hot water and Salt if it is too hard.

Other Methods:

  1. These days, some stalls are serving Dosas spread with Bombay fresh pickle on them. But I personally didn't like the taste. I prefer it as a side dish. I prefer roasted Dosa spread with layers of Chilli paste and a little Bombay fresh pickle on it. But it should be consumed immediately, otherwise it becomes soggy.

  2. If you eat eggs, you can beat an egg above the Chilli paste layer. For this method. you have to roast the Dosa only on one side.

6.Only Ghee can be used to make these Dosas. I used a little Oil on corners and Ghee in the centre. This Dosas needs more Oil for roasting
