An Indian pancake traditionally eaten as a breakfast dish. I found this little beauty in The Bread and Bread Machine Bible and amazingly I didn't have to change a thing,,,made with rice and lentils it's naturally gluten free and relatively low carb. And no I haven't made a mistake the prep time really is 2 days,,,but so worth the wait...The recipe only makes six Dosas so to make the effort worthwhile why not multiply the ingredients and freeze them. If you prefer a kick then add a finely chopped chilli to the batter before cooking.
Ingredients:
5 ounces long grain rice
2 ounces red lentils
8 fluid ounces warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Place the rice and lentils in a bowl, cover with the warm water.
2. Leave to soak in the warm water for 8 hours.
3. Drain off the excess water and retain.
4. Using a food processor, blend the rice and lentils together until smooth.
5. Blend in the reserved water.
6. Place in a large bowl and cover with cling film.
7. Leave in a warm place to ferment for about 24 hours.
8. Stir in the seasoning and spices.
9. Heat a heavy frying pan, over a medium heat until hot.
10. Add the oil and when just beginning to smoke add 2-3 tablespoons of batter.
11. Spread the dosa out into a 6inch diameter.
12. Cook for approximately 2 mins or until set.
