Convection Oven
Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
▢
1 ½
cup
Idli rice
▢
½
cup
Urad dal
(deskinned bengal gram dal)
▢
1 ½
teaspoon
Salt
▢
1 ½
cup
Cold water
(additional for soaking)
Instructions
Make batter
Wash the rice and urad dal and soak for 10-12 hours.
Discard the water and put the soaked dal and rice in Vitamix. Add salt and 1 ½ cup of cold water.
Select the "Smoothie" setting in vitamix and let it complete the cycle.
Fermenting batter in oven
Transfer the batter into a clean bowl, cover it and place it in the oven for fermenting.
Start the oven on "Warm" setting for 10 minutes and then turn it off.
Leave the batter in the oven for fermentation for about 14 hours.
Batter is ready for making dosa.
Make dosa on cast iron skillet
Mix the batter well before using. Add water if needed.
Heat the seasoned cast iron skillet on medium high flame.
Once hot, add about ⅓rd cup of dosa batter at the center of the skillet.
Using a stainless steel ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion into a thin crepe, starting from center and moving outwards.
Once it looks cooked from the top, apply a little oil and spread it with a spatula.
Carefully lift the dosa off the skillet with a spatula.
Make it into a loose roll and take it off the skillet.
With a wet kitchen towel, wipe the skillet and then the skillet is ready to make another dosa.
Notes
Soaking dal and rice for long (10-12 hours) in warm water helps in fermentation, especially in cold weather.
