Plain Dosai (South Indian Crepes) image

This is a common South Indian food that uses leftover rice. It can be had for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. The 12 hours mentioned is just overnight soaking. The process is similar to making crepes or pancakes. You can find urad dal at most Indian grocers. Dosas are best eaten hot out of the pan and are usually served with coconut chutney and sambhar (a South Indian hearty lentil soup).

Delicious! I added a bit of green chili to the batter for a little extra spice, and they turned out perfectly. My new favorite dosa recipe!

I've been making dosas for years, and this recipe is the best I've ever tried. The crepes are light and fluffy, and they have a slightly tangy flavor that I love. I will definitely be making these again and again.

My family loved these dosas! The batter was easy to make and the crepes turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We served them with a variety of chutneys and sambar, and everyone raved about them.
