As of my last update in September 2021, “Raza Dosa” does not appear to be a well-known or widely recognized dish. It’s possible that it might be a regional or local variation of dosa that has gained popularity after my knowledge cutoff date. However, I can provide you with a basic recipe for making regular dosa, which is a popular South Indian crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter. If you are referring to a specific type of dosa, please provide more context or ingredients, and I’ll do my best to assist you further.
Here’s the recipe for regular dosa:
Ingredients for dosa batter:
- 1 cup raw rice
- 1/2 cup urad dal (split black gram)
- 1/4 cup flattened rice (poha or aval)
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi seeds)
- Water for soaking and grinding
- Salt to taste
Instructions for dosa batter:
- Rinse the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately and soak them in water for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. Also, soak the flattened rice in water for about 30 minutes before grinding.
- After soaking, drain the water from the rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds. Grind them together in a blender or wet grinder, adding water as needed to form a smooth batter. The batter should have a slightly grainy texture but should not be too thick or too watery.
- Next, grind the soaked flattened rice to a smooth paste and add it to the rice and dal mixture. Mix well to combine.
- Add salt to taste to the batter and mix thoroughly. The batter should have a pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment in a warm place for about 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume and turns slightly sour.
Ingredients for making Raza Dosa:
- Dosa batter (prepared as mentioned above)
- Oil or ghee for greasing the pan
Instructions for making Raza Dosa:
- Heat a non-stick or cast-iron dosa tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Once the tawa is hot, sprinkle a few drops of water on it; if the water sizzles, the tawa is ready for making dosas.
- Stir the dosa batter gently. Take a ladleful of batter and pour it onto the center of the tawa.
- Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin, round dosa.
- Drizzle some oil or ghee around the edges and on the surface of the dosa.
- Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges turn golden brown and crisp. The surface should be cooked and no longer appear raw.
- Fold the dosa in half and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more dosas.
Serve Raza Dosa hot with sambar, coconut chutney, and/or tomato chutney for a delightful South Indian breakfast or snack. Enjoy!
