Set Dosa

For Batter:
--------------

4 Cups of  rice(i used  sona masoori rice)
1 Cup Urad Dal
2 Cups Thick Poha
1 tsp salt





Preparation:
----------------

Soak 4 Cups of  rice , 1 Cup Urad Dal and 2 Cups of thick poha overnight.
Grind the rice, poha  and Dal separately and mix them, Allow the batter to ferment overnight , also at the same time ensure that the batter doesn't become sour because most of the time if the batter is kept at room temperature for long without refrigerating it might become sour . Well if the weather does not favor pre-heat your conventional oven and keep the batter inside or you can leave the batter inside the conventional oven with the oven light on, Once the batter is fermented Add salt to the batter just before making dosas , also check for consistency ..if the batter is too thick you can add some water, at the same time do not make the batter  thin . Set Dosa as the name itself indicates its given as set of 3 dosa's which are thick, soft and fluffy like bread .Now heat dosa pan ,spray or spread 1/2 tsp of oil, spread the batter  little because you want dosa's to look like traditional pancakes  , sprinkle 1 tsp oil on and around dosa ,close the pan with a lid  allow it to roast for sometime in high for 3 seconds , now you get small pores on the dosa , turn the flame to medium /low till the raw batter on surface of the dosa disappears, unlike normal dosa set dosa has to be roasted only on one side . Remove dosa from pan gently without breaking the dosa.. thats it Dosa is ready which looks and tastes like the typical restaurant Set Dosa.
Serve with Hot sambar and Peanut Chutney or vegetable kurma :).
