Dosa or Idli

You can prepare Dosas or Idlis with the same batter.

 Ingredients: 

1. 1 cup full urad dhal (Kannada: udin bele, Tamil - Ulundu)
2.  4 cups of rice 
3. 1.5 tea spoons of methay seeds/Fenugreek(optional for idli) 
4. Handful of thick avalakki (optional)

 Soak the Urad dhal & Rice in water for around 3 hrs or overnight. Soak the Fenugreek seeds (& Avalakki) with the rice. Grind it all together in a grinder. Leave the batter closed for around 4-6 hrs for fermentation. This really depends on the temperature. You see the batter rise to nearly double its qauntity.You do not require any baking soda for the fermentation. Now you can add salt and add little water if the batter is thick. You can either make idlis or make crispy dosas from this batter.
