- Wash and soak rice and lentils for 8 hours (or overnight). Drain water and grind to a smooth paste in a wet grinder adding the minimum amount of water. (add more water as needed).

- Heat a pan over medium high.
- Grease the pan with oil and then reduce heat to medium.
- Pour a ladle of batter onto the heated pan and spread it in circular motion to form a thin dosa (as thinly as you can) with the back of the ladle.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the dosa. Cook until the top (of the dosa) nearly dry and edges start to brown and crispy for about 3 min.
- Flip the dosa with a spatula. Let it cook the other side, for about 1 min. Once it is cooked, remove the dosa from the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter.
