Aval Dosai

Dosas are enjoyed by most people and are made with different combinations of different grains and each of them have their own unique taste. This dosa is soft and spongy, kids would love it.

The fermentation for this dosa has to be done for 8-12hrs definitely.


Raw rice 3 cups, Curds 2 cups, Thick poha(aval) 1 cup, Green chillies 5-6, Ginger 2 ‘’, Salt
Finely chopped onions 1 cup, To temper in 1 tsp oil:, Mustard seeds 1tsp.


Wash rice and poha well and soak together in curds for 3 hours. Then grind it very fine adding a little water if necessary. Add salt and ferment for atleast 12 hrs. Before making the dosas add minced green chillies and ginger with tempered mustard seeds and onions. You can add a little bit of cooking soda or Eno if you live in a cold place. Heat dosa pan and do not spread the batter, it spreads itself. Drizzle 1 tsp oil around it & cook it covered. You can avoid the onions or even use onions to sprinkle on the dosa without mixing it with the batter. Do not turn over. Remove & serve hot & spongy with any chutney or sambar.
