Set Dosa

Served hot with mixed veggies it becomes a complete meal by itself.
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup raw rice
2. 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
3. 1 cup poha (beaten rice)
4. 1/4th cup curd
5. Salt to taste
6. Pinch of fruit salt (Eno)
Procedure:
1. Soak the rice and fenugreek seeds in warm water for 2 hours
2. Wash the poha
3. Grind the rice
4. Add the poha and grind again (rice will take longer to grind, so it is better to add poha later)
5. Do not add too much water.
6. Keep the batter in an airtight container for 6 hours (I keep it inside the switched off microwave overnight). The batter should get fermented.
7. If the batter does not ferment properly, add the fruit salt. Bring the batter to dosa consistency.
8. Lightly grease a non-stick tawa.
9. Spread the batter, but not very thin.
10. Add little oil at the edges. Do not turn the dosa. Wait for some time till both sides get cooked.
11. Take out the dosa and serve hot with pickle and mixed veggies (find recipe below)
