What Is Dosa Batter Made Of?
Dosa batter is a mixture of rice and urad dal (black gram) that has been soaked, ground, and fermented. The ratio of rice to urad dal varies depending on the recipe and personal preference, but a common ratio is 4:1. Some recipes also call for adding fenugreek seeds to the batter, which helps with fermentation. Once fermented, the batter can be used to make a variety of South Indian dishes, including dosas, idlis, and uttapams.
