सामग्री

Dosa rice 200 g
split urad dal (dhuli urad dal) 65 g — see the urad flag above, split moong dal swaps in 1:1, though the classic hotel-style sponge and holes come from urad specifically
poha (flattened rice) 40 g
fenugreek seeds a pinch
salt to taste
oil 1 tsp

Soak rice, urad dal (or moong dal), poha, and fenugreek together 5-6 hours.
Drain and grind to a smooth, slightly thick batter, adding water gradually.
Cover and ferment in a warm place 8 hours or overnight, until slightly risen.
Heat tawa on medium-low heat. Pour a small ladle of batter without spreading it — let it settle on its own into a thick 4-inch round.
Cover with a lid and cook 2-3 minutes until small holes appear on the surface and the base turns light golden.
Flip gently and cook 1 minute more. Serve stacked in twos or threes.

वैरिएशन: stir 1 tbsp sour curd into the batter before fermenting to speed up the rise in Meerut's heat.
