Mushti Polo / Set dosa

Mushti dosa is nothing but a Konkani-style set dosa. Mushti dosa is a very tasty dosa prepared using rice, little urad dal, methi seeds, coconut, and beaten rice. Prepare soft and tasty dosa with very little urad dal. Since we are adding coconut and beaten rice, these dosas will be very soft and tasty. Mushti polo or mushti dosa can be served with chutney or sambar.

'Mushti' is a fistful, and since the mushti measurement is used, it is called mushti dosa. This dosa has very little urad dal. But still, the dosa will be soft and fluffy due to coconut and beaten rice.

INGREDIENTS:

2 pav / 3 cups dosa rice

2 mushti (fistful) / half cup urad dal

2 mushti (fistful) / half cup poha (thick or thin)

2 mushti (fistful) / half cup fresh coconut gratings

2 tsp methi/ fenugreek seeds

Salt to taste

Oil for cooking dosa

Chutney for serving

PROCEDURE:

• Take dosa rice, urad dal, and poha (if you are using thick poha) in a bowl. Wash well and soak in enough water with methi seeds for 5 to 6 hours.

• If you are using thin poha, then wash it just before grinding and add it to the mixer grinder.

• Drain all the water from the soaked ingredients and grind them, with coconut gratings, into a smooth paste.

• Transfer the batter into a broad vessel, close with a lid. Let the batter ferment for 8 to 10 hours.

• The next morning, add salt to the batter, mix well, and make thick dosas on a medium flame, adding a spoonful of oil.

• No need to flip the dosa. This dosa is cooked on only one side. Serve hot dosas with coconut chutney or sambar.

• You can prepare utthappam or paniyaram, or even thin dosa with the same batter

• If the batter is not fermented well, you can add half a teaspoon of cooking soda to the batter.
