2

Drain all the water and add the soaked ingredients to a mixer grinder or a blender.
3

Add ⅔ to ¾ cup water and grind or blend till you get a fine grainy consistency of rice in the batter. A smooth consistency of the batter is also fine.
4

Now take the batter in a large bowl or pan. In case the dosa batter becomes thin, then add a few tablespoon of rice flour to thicken it. Mix the rice flour very well in the batter.Add ½ teaspoon of edible rock salt. Mix very well. Cover and allow to ferment for 8 to 9 hours or more. The time of fermentation will vary depending on the temperature conditions, climate and altitude.
5

Now lightly stir the batter, before you begin to make dosa. You will also see many tiny air pockets in the batter
6

Heat a cast iron pan. When the pan becomes hot, spread ¼ to ½ teaspoon oil all over the pan with a spoon or with a thick paper towel dipped in oil. For a richer taste, you can cook the dosa with ghee or butter.Now take a ladle full of the dosa batter or about ¼ cup of the batter. Pour the batter and gently spread the batter starting from the center and moving outwards. Cook till the base is nicely golden and crisp. The base will leave the pan and the edges separate when it gets cooked.
