Podi Dosa

Soak the first four ingredients overnight. Then grind to a smooth paste by adding some water. Add salt and mix well. Keep it aside in a warm place overnight to ferment.

To make the dosa, heat a non-stick tawa / griddle and grease with a little oil. Sprinkle some water and after it sizzles off, wipe dry with a clean cloth / kitchen towel.

Now pour a ladleful of the batter and spread it in a circular motion. Drizzle some oil over it and around the edges. Cook for a minute on one side.

Then sprinkle some podi all over the dosa and 1 tsp. of oil. Fry for a minute more and then transfer to a serving plate.

Make similar podi dosa with the remaining batter and relish with coconut chutney and sambar.
