Method

• Mix semolina, wheat flour, curd, water, and salt into a batter. Add more or less water depending on the consistency. Let it rest for half an hour.
• Then, for quick fermentation, add fruit salt (Eno) or baking soda. You can also opt for natural fermentation by leaving the batter for 5-6 hours.
• Then, make the dosa by pouring the batter onto a heated, greased pan.
• Sprinkle some sambhar masala, coriander leavers and green onion on top, fold, and enjoy!

Divya Malik Dhawan, dietitian, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Delhi told indianexpress.com that it is indeed a common misconception that idli and dosa are light foods. “The truth is, they are heavy. However, it cannot be denied that dosa is healthy and possesses various health benefits, but it’s not light (like a salad). Hence, it is important to eat dosa in moderation to avoid any health issues.

When eating idli or dosa, people must eat homemade versions instead of store brought. “Readymade idli and dosa batter contains an excess amount of preservatives, salt, or sugar to keep it fermented for a longer duration without getting spoiled. So, stick to eating such foods once or twice a week,” Dhawan said.
