Ingredients required:
Urad dal and rice mix (prepared earlier)
- 1 portion Urad dal and 3 portions of rice(for eg: if we take 1/2 cup red dal then take 1 1/2 cup rice).
Soak the two separately; put 1 tsp methi seeds in Urad dal.
Soak the two for 4-5 hours then drain water and grind them separately.
Make a fine paste of dal and grind rice to a bit coarse paste.
After grinding dal and rice mix them together.
Add 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.
Mix the mixture thoroughly and its consistency should be similar to Pakora batter.
Fill the mixture in a container which can be properly sealed then keep it in a warm place.
Mixture ferments in 12-14 hours during summers else it takes 20-24 hours in winter.

Pour 3 tsp oil in heated pan.
Peel the potatoes which we have boiled before hand.
Now that the oil is hot put mustard seeds and roast.

Now let us make Dosa, heat the pan.
Pour some oil on the pan and spread it evenly with a cloth or napkin.
Pour 2 spoons of mixture on the pan
and immediately spread.
Increase the flame
Pan should not be heated much when we spread the dosa.
Then only we can spread the dosa properly.
Increase the flame when we have completed spreading the Dosa.
Spread oil all around the Dosa.
Put the filling on the Dosa when the colour of Dosa has changed.
Decrease the flame of the burner once again.
Fold the Dosa since it has cooked from the lower surface.
Take out the Dosa from the pan
Wipe the pan once with the wet cloth to prepare another Dosa.
It decreases the temperature of the pan.
Pour 2 spoons of batter in mid-flame once again.
Spread the Dosa in a circular way with the spoon.
Put filling on it.
Masala Dosa is now ready.
Prepare all Dosas in the same manner.
Serve Masala Dosa with Sambar, coconut chutney and groundnut chutney.
