Dosa (how to make the batter?)

5 cups Boiled rice
1 cup Urad dal
1 tsp Fenugeek seeds

Steps
1) Soak the rice overnight.
2) Soak the Feengeek seeds in a separate vessel overnight. (Do not throw the water and use it while grinding)
3) Soak Urad dal an hour before grinding.
4) First grind the Urad dal. Take 1/2 tsp of the batter and drop it on a cup of water and it should float. Grind until the urad dal batter reaches this consistency. It usually takes 5 - 8 minutes. Add water as required.
5) Remove the Urad dal batter from the grinder/food processor and keep it aside. Now put the rice and fenugeek seeds to grind.
6) Once you get a smooth consistency of rice batter, transfer to the ural dal batter and mix it well.
7) I usually add salt and little bit of curd so that it cultivates yeast. If you are in hot weather this will not be required.
