Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • Karuppu Kavuni Rice – 1 cup
  • Whole Urad Dal – ¼ cup
  • Methi Seeds – ½ tsp
  • Water – as needed (for grinding and batter consistency)
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – for cooking

Instructions for Karuppu Kavuni Dosa:

Preparation:

  • Rinse and soak Karuppu Kavuni rice, urad dal, and methi seeds together in water for 6–8 hours.
  • Drain and grind the mixture to a smooth batter, adding water gradually. The consistency should be pourable but not watery.
  • Transfer batter to a large bowl, add salt, mix well, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8 hours or overnight.

Cooking Process:

  • Heat a dosa tawa on medium flame. Once hot, drizzle a few drops of oil and wipe clean with a cloth.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter in the centre and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
  • Drizzle oil around the edges and cook until the base is crisp and golden brown.
  • Flip and cook the other side for a minute if desired (optional).
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
  • Pairs well with a jaggery and ghee drizzle for a sweet twist.

Pro Tips:

  • Fermentation time may vary by weather—look for bubbles and a slight sour aroma.
  • For extra softness, add a tablespoon of poha while grinding.
  • Use cast iron tawa for an authentic texture and colour.
