Instructions
- To begin making the Aval/Poha Dosa, rinse raw rice, urad dal in water separately
- Soak them in enough water for 4 hours
- Soak poha in 3/4 cup of yogurt for about 45 minutes
- Once the rice and urad dal are soaked well, grind the rice adding little water and the soaked val/poha with curd to make a smooth and thick batter
- Pour this batter into a large bowl
- Next grind the urad dal adding just enough water to make a smooth and thick batter
- Pour this batter into the rice and poha mixture
- Add 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt and stir well to combine
- Cover the bowl and allow the Aval Dosa batter to ferment in a warm place for about 6 to 8 hours or overnight
- Once fermented, give the batter a stir as use it to make dosas
- Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days and use it within that time period
- To begin making the Aval Dosa, preheat a greased skillet over medium heat and pour a ladleful of batter in the center and spread it into either a thick pancake or into a thin crepe
- If you make this dosa very thin, it could tear apart (as it is very soft)Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the sides and center of the dosa
- Cover the skillet with a lid and steam cook the Aval Dosa for about 40 seconds to a minute
- Once you notice that it is getting cooked and lightly golden brown, you can start lifting the dosa off the pan and remove it carefully and serve
- Proceed the same way to make the remaining dosas with the batter
- Serve the Aval Dosa along with a Spicy Onion Tomato Chutney for breakfast or a quick weeknight dinner
