Dosa / Idli batter -How to make Dosa batter/ Idli batter at home.

Making Dosa batters/ Idli batters at home is a routine task in south Indian homes. But in most north Indian kitchens, while dosas are a delicacy we crave to eat occasionally. They have found a place in the weekly or monthly menus.

Hence, making them at home is a healthier option. Although many ready-made batters are now available, I still love to prepare them from scratch at home. It’s homemade, hygienic, healthy, one can choose the ingredients and make them with lots of love for the family.

Many of you who may think it’s complicated and a big task to handle, will be pleasantly surprised once you try my recipe and this will give you market-style crispy dosa in your own kitchen.
