Notes

  • Firstly, adding sona masuri rice makes dosa crispy and tasty. if you are looking for soft dosa, then use idli rice.
  • Also, if you have access to a grinder, use a grinder to grind the batter, as it makes the batter more fluffy.
  • Additionally, soak the grains and dal well, or else it will be difficult to grind.
  • Finally, the Multigrain Dosa Recipe tastes great when served with spicy chutney.
