Step by step method of preparing Loni Sponge Dosa | Set Dosa Recipe

Soaking procedure

First take rice and wash it with 2-3 waters and soak in a bowl.

Now in another bowl add the white urad dal,poha(flattened rice),sabudana and wash them and soak them all together in enough water.

Next soak the methi seeds in a small bowl separately and keep aside.

Now soak all above ingredients for about 6-7 hours.
Once nicely soaked drain the excess water and reserve that strained water for grinding.

Making of set dosa batter

After nicely soaked grind the rice first to a very fine paste.
Remove the rice paste in a big bowl.

Next finely grind the urad dal,poha and sabudana to a fine paste.
The grinded batter should be thick enough because as it ferments it gets thinner.

Mix this with the rice paste.

To these add the curd or dahi and give a nice mix.

Mix the batter.

Next keep this batter for fermentation in a warm place for 8-10 hours or nicely fermented.

Once the batter gets nicely fermented add salt and sugar to it.

Mix it nicely.
The batter of set dosa is ready.

Cooking of set dosa

Keep the iron tava or non stick tava on gas for heating.

Once it gets heated up grease the tava with regular cooking oil or butter properly.
The tava should be medium hot when you pour the batter.
Now pour the dosa batter on to it.
