hi
I have a basic doubt. I normally gring flour separately for idli and dosa. For idli I add only Bolied rice and urad dal and a spoonful of methi seeds and grind. I let it fermet for about 8 hours or so..it comes out fantastic..very soft idlis
But for dosa i add a little boiled rice and a little raw rice along with urad dal. The results are good. But I was wondering if i should let the dosa maavu ferment too. I normally do ferment it.. but should you?
Thanks
No doubt you should ferment dosa batter aswell...
hi sangeetha,
i use the same batter for idli and dosa. i use mixie to make the batter. This is how i make the batter.
Soak 4 cups of ponni boiled rice with a tsp fenugreek seeds and 1 cup of urad dal overnight. next morning u can grind the urad dal first and then the rice with fenugreek seeds. mix the two batters. i get soft idlis and very good dosas.
I add a handful of aval / poha (and also a handful of cooked rice) to the rice and I get lovely dosas/idlis... :)

while doing to potato fry.. is it necessary to boil the potato before frying??..
i tried without boiling it went on for 45 min but the taste was really gud..
what i do:
1)peel potatoes.. cut into small pieces..
2)heat oil in vaanoli and fry potatoes.. add chilli powder and salt.
what shud i add extra to make the taste different..
sila veetla .. oru maargama seyraanga.. remba nalla irrundhuchi..
i have also seen in some houses they add turmeric.. what else shud i add
:roll:
kb: I make potatoes a few different ways, one is what you said with turmeric as well...
One way is - boil potatoes, and then add oil in the frying pan, add all the seasoning ingrediants like mustard, curry leaves, urid dal, perungayam, etc, ginger - garlic paste, chilli powder, turmeric powder, fry a bit and add the chopped boiled potatoes.... add salt and mix it well till cooked properly, you can add peas to this too...
Or you can boil potatoes (don't over cook them)... cut them into wedges, add oil to the frying pan, add chilli, turmeric and corriander powder, fry a bit, add the wedges and fry well and crispy and add salt to it...
thanks .. i will try the second one :D :D
