Leftover Rice Dosa – Cooked Rice Dosa Recipe – Leftover Rice Recipe

Leftover rice can be bothering at times. People often convert leftover rice into variety rice. But there are a lot of things that can be done with leftover rice and this dosa is one such beautiful way of using up that leftover rice. This dosa is kind of a soft dosa and is perfect for breakfast or as an afterschool snack for the children. Here is how to do it.

Take a mixie / blender and add in the left over rice, wheat flour (atta), cumin seeds, salt, curry leaves and dried red chillies. Add in a cup of water and grind to a smooth paste. The batter will be thick.

Thin out the batter with about half a cup of water. Add water little by little so the batter doesn’t go very watery. The batter should be of pouring consistency. Now add in a cup of dosa batter. The dosa batter helps in spreading the batter on the griddle and crisping the dosa.

Heat a dosa pan / skillet until hot. Let the flame be at high. Pour a ladle of the batter onto the skillet. You can gauge the consistency of the batter from the below picture. Cover the skillet and cook the dosa for little over a minute on each side.

This dosa cooks slow. It took about 3 minutes for me for making each dosa. So be patient and do not rush. The dosa will be gummy if its not properly cooked.

Also be gentle while spreading the batter. Applying pressure will scrape the batter from the pan. Also that little addition of regular dosa batter is really necessary else the dosa comes very dense and gummy.

Enjoy your dosa. I served the dosa today with coconut chutney, onion thokku and idli podi.

    Can I grind the cooked rice first and store it. Then grind the other ingredients with wheat flour, mix them with water to the rice and make this?

      Never ground and stored. Better to grind when making dosa else it will become gummy.

      I have clearly mentioned in the notes not to increase the quantity of cooked rice. Inspite of that you add more rice and comment here that you are disappointed. Well!!!! Please follow the recipe……..

      Can you tell me if you used the correct proportion mentioned? Lot of cooked rice will not yield desired results.
      You cannot make idlis with this batter.

    Since it is cooked rice, how long can we store this batter in fridge?

      This batter doesn’t store well in the fridge. It has to be made the same day.
