1 cup parboiled rice
½ cup Urad dal
1 tsp fenugreek seeds

Direction:

Heats the pan with 2 tsp of oil and fry individually all masala ingredients, except coconut. Fry well. Lastly add dry coconut and switch off the stove. Stir the mixture a little. When this mixture cools down, add salt and dry grind to a slightly coarse powder.
Soak raw rice, parboiled rice, fenugreek seeds and urad dal together in water for 3 hours. Drain excess water. Grind these to a smooth batter. Add salt and allow the batter to ferment overnight. Next day, use this batter to make dosa on a pre-heated thick tawa.
