Total Time : 16 Hr 15 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 3
  • 1 & 1/2 cups rice


  • 1 cup poha / beaten rice (I used brown poha)


  • 1/2 cup urad dal (split black gram)


  • 1/4 tsp. fenugreek seeds


  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste


  • 3-4 tbsp. butter to shallow fry


Directions

  • Soak the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds overnight or for a minimum of 8 hours. Wash the poha well, drain and keep aside.
  • Blend the rice, dal and fenugreek seeds to a smooth paste with required quantity of water. Transfer to a large bowl. Blend the washed poha too and add to the batter.
  • Ferment overnight. Next morning add salt to taste and mix well.
  • Heat a tawa / griddle and brush with some oil. Sprinkle some water and after it sizzles off, pour a ladleful of the batter. Spread out into a circular motion with the back of the ladle.
  • The Benne Dosa is prepared slightly thick than the regular dosa. Spread some butter over and around the edges. Cook till it is golden brown on one side.
  • Flip it over and cook the other side too till done. Serve these dosas with chutney, sambar and some extra butter on the top.
