Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup semolina, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1.5 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth. Let rest for 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 1 finely chopped onion, 1 grated carrot, 2 chopped green chilies, and 1/4 cup coriander leaves. The batter should be thin and pourable; add a splash of water if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of batter from the edge inward, filling gaps to create a lacy pattern.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges and cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. No need to flip.

  5. Step 5

    Fold the dosa in half and serve hot with chutney or yogurt.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining batter, stirring occasionally. Adjust heat if browning too fast.
