When I first came across this recipe for dosa batter made with yeast, I was so excited to try it. This yeast dosa recipe works perfectly even in cold weather. The soft and spongy texture of the dosa and aroma of the fermented yeast batter makes breakfast really interesting. Do try it at home.

Wash idli rice well in running water. Soak the idli rice (par-boiled rice), urad dal and fenugreek seeds in water for a couple of hours.

After soaking, drain the water and grind the batter with a cup of water. Add in the yeast and the cooked rice along while grinding. Grind to a smooth paste.
Note: Soak the yeast in 2 tablespoon of water for 5 minutes  and add while grinding.

Take a big bowl and transfer the batter to the bowl. Allow it to ferment for 2-3 hours. The batter will rise. So make sure that the bowl is big enough to accommodate the batter to rise. Mix the batter well.

Again, allow the batter to ferment for 5-6 hours or overnite. I have a neat little trick to avoid the batter from overflowing. I cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and prick 3-4 small tiny holes on the top for the batter to breathe. This way, the batter does not overflow.

After the fermentation, add in the salt to the batter and mix well. The consistency of the batter should be slightly thinner than the regular dosa batter. Dilute the batter with water if the batter is too thick. Use caution while adding water making sure not to add too much water.

Heat a dosa griddle/pan until medium hot. Apply few drops of oil on the griddle. Ladle the batter and pour it onto the griddle. Do not spread the batter like you do normal dosa. Spread it ever so lightly if necessary. Lots of holes will start forming on the top of the dosa. Cover the griddle with a lid and let it cook for a minute on low medium flame. This dosa is usually cooked only on one side. Do not cook the dosa on high heat!

The dosas are ready when the top is completely cooked and the bubbles have settled.
Serve with Tomato Chutney , Vegetable Kurma or Fish Curry.

      The batter will foam up due to yeast. It should subside after 6-7 hours.

    hi,
    I’m back but with a doubt!
    I tried these dosa’s and it came out very well (very pleased), but i had added 1/4tsp of sugar to the yeast,
    prooved it and then added it to the batter – my question is-
    why did you add the yeast directly to the batter and not otherwise?
    is it supposed to be done that way with no sugar added? if so, then how much sugar?

    one more thing, can this recipe be doubled or thrippled comfortably?
    pl reply – thnks once again!!

      Hi Maria,
      I did not prove the yeast due to the long fermentation.
      The yeast will start to ferment slowly and thats desirable.
      Yes you can double the recipe
      Thanks.

    I loved the concept of cling wrap for preventing the overflow due to fermentation. My batter keeps overflowing even in fridge everytime and I have a tough time cleaning up. I live in CT USA and inspite of the cold weather, winter or summer, my batter will overflow in the fridge too. I keep my batter only for 4 hours outside and keep in the fridge and still it continues to overflow. Just for this reason, I hate grinding idli batter. This time, I tried this cling wrap and God!! It saved so much time for me. Batter stayed just on top trying to come out, but it couldn’t…
