Hi Everyone! I warmly welcome you to my channel – Travel with chef
Today I am going to introduce a new recipe to you. I will be showing you all how to prepare Dosa. Most of you have requested me to prepare this.
Along with Dosa, I will also be showing you how to prepare the Sambol of Dosa which is “Sambar”
First let’s see how to prepare the Dosa. For this, we first need Ulundu Flour (500g) and Rice Flour (500g).
Then I am going to mix both like this. We also need fenugreek seeds and a teaspoon of yeast. Next, mix everything like this.
Next, add some water (not too cold). Feel free to add enough water.
You must mix it by hand to make sure the paste is very smooth. Make sure it has enough water and then leave it for around 2 hours.
Next, I am going to add something which is very healthy to this. It is called ‘Perumkaya’ (Hins/Asafoetida). Add around half a teaspoon.
Add a bit more water. Make sure you don’t add too much water. This is how it should look like.
However, after you leave it for 2 hours, it might get a bit thick. In that case, you can add more water.
Until it is done, let’s look at how to prepare the Sambol (Sambar)
For this, we need dhal, some beans, eggplant, potato, pumpkin, carrot and drumstick (Murunga).
We also need some Tamarind, Garlic, Onions, Chillies, Curry leaves and Tomatoes.
Some other spices we need are cinnamon, fenugreek seeds, saffron powder, curry powder.
We have to first add the dhal and make sure we boil it very well in order for it to have a sauce texture.
Next, add the rest of the ingredients together like this. However, we will be tempering some ingredients later on.
Add the garlic and all the vegetables too. Crush the tamarind a bit and add that along with a teaspoon of fenugreek. Add cinnamon along with it.
I am going to add two teaspoons of curry powder and one teaspoon of saffron powder. Add water on top until the vegetables are covered and let it boil
As you can see it’s boiling. Let it boil more. Till then let’s go back to making the Dosa.
This is how it looks like after we leave it for some time. Now let’s look at how to make it on the platter.
If you don’t have a platter like this, you can even use a pan.
Add a bit of oil on the heated pan and spread out the oil like this.
Take a spoon full of the mixture and put it on the pan. Use the bottom of the spoon to spread out the mixture like this to make sure it becomes thinner.
Don’t increase the heat too much. You can see a few holes in it, that means it’s getting cooked.
To flip the Dosa, use a spatula. If you see holes like this, that means the mixture is properly done and it is getting cooked.
When the top becomes dry, flip it over and cook the other side. Make sure it becomes slightly brown in color
Now it’s done and it’s very soft. I am going to fold it like this. It smells really nice too.
I am going to make another one.
Now I am going to temper some more Ingredients for the Sambal (Sambar).
Add some mustard, onions, cumin seeds and mix it well. Finally, add curry leaves.
Now I’m going to add this mixture to the sambar which is boiling.
You may add salt according to your taste. I will be adding two spoons of salt.
Now the sambal (Sambar) is done. Some people add coconut milk to it too. The way I made it suits vegan people too.
The Dosa we prepared is also very soft, not hard.
I hope you all watched this and enjoyed it. Make sure to try it at home and let me know if you have any questions!
Until we meet it again in our next video, Ayubowan!
