    Preparation Time : 8 Hrs
    Cooking Time : 30 Mins
    Makes : 8-10 Dosa

    Ingredients

              2 Cups of  Idly Rice (Parboiled Rice)
              1/4 Cup of Aval / Poha / Rice Flakes
              3.5 Cups of Sour Butter Milk
              1/4 Tsp of Baking Soda
              1/2 Tsp of Fenugreek Seeds
              Oil and Salt as Needed

    Method

• Soak both the aval and rice flakes in buttermilk (not in water) for overnight.
• Next day morning, drain the buttermilk, add fresh water and grind it to a smooth batter consistency, but consistency should be little watery than idly dosa batter.
• Add salt and cooking soda to the batter, mix well.        
• Heat a non stick dosa pan or griddle, I used cast iron pan, pour a ladleful of batter, don't spread it like thin dosa, it should be thick. Drizzle some oil over dosa or in sides, cover and cook it for a min. If you want, you can cook on the other side, otherwise it is not necessary.
• Spongy dosa is ready to serve with tomato chutney or any spicy chutney.
