The key is serving them hot and chutneys served fresh - most popular chutneys that go with dosa are cocounut or cocounut corriander chutney, ginger chutney, tomato chutney, sambhar, aloo curry ... 


INGREDIENTS:
Rice - 2 cups
Lentils - 1 cup 
Urad dal - 1 cup

PREPARATION:


Soak rice and lentils over night and grind them the next morning - Leave for about 2 /3 hours for the batter to taste well.


Thin layer of batter on hot tawa makes the dosa. There are many different types of dosa like paneer dosa, masala dosa, rava dosa, chilli dosa, palak dosa ...
