Friends, my niece has a very old mother-in-law.
As they say old is gold, she has so many tips and tricks.
She made this spongy dosai for me. Kugan98


SOFT SPONGE DOSAI

Ingredients:

2 cups of idli rice
¼ cup aval
4 cups of sour mooru
¼ tsp of cooking soda
Salt to taste
Little oil

Method:

Wash the rice, wash the aval, drain well.
Now soak both the aval and the rice with the mooru.
Soak them for about 6 hours.

Now drain the excess mooru if any.
Grind the soaked rice and aval to a smooth paste.
The consistency should be a little watery than our dosai batter.
Use the mooru in which the rice was soaked during grinding.

Add in salt and cooking soda and mix well.
Heat a non stick dosai pan.
Pour a ladle full of batter on the pan.
Do not spread the the batter.
Drizzle little oil and cook covered on medium flame.
The super soft dosai will be cooked in a minute.

Thanks Kugan ka and Dev for the welcome, I will be active from Tuesday on wards :)

Thanks Kugan for all the nice recipes.
I am a bit scared to talk about the new forum.
Hope everything will be right soon.
Sooo difficult to check for old recipes.
I hope the management will help out soon.

Thanks Gulabjamun for your post.
I am sure all will clear up soon.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
