PS:
  • If dosa batter is kept at 25 deg or higher temperature, then 12 hours would suffice for fermentation.
  • If temp is less than 25 deg, then keep the batter for 24 hours for fermentation.
  • For dosa batter, some people use only sona masoori rice with urad daal. They don't use idli rice. The ratio of sona masoori rice : urad daal is 2.25 cup (sona masoori rice): 1 cup (urad daal). Along this also add chana daal: 1 tbsp, fenugreek seeds: 1 tbsp. Rest everything is same as above.
