Here is the video of how to make Vendhaya Dosai
Step by step recipe
Soak the rice, aval (thick poha), vendhayam (fenugreek seeds), urad dal in water. Let it soak for 2 hours.
Grind the soaked ingredients along with water used for soaking to a very fine paste.
Transfer the ground paste to a bowl, mix the salt and allow the batter to ferment for 6-8 hours.
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 40 seconds on medium flame. Remove lid, flip the dosa and cook for 30 seconds more.
Serve hot with a favorite side dish.

Hello Kannamma! Thanks so much for your easy & well-explained recipes.
This time I have tried 2 recipes back to back – Vendhaya dosa with carrot chutney. (my comment on the chutney will be under comments section for carrot chutney)
I must say that it came out very well. My hubby & I enjoyed every bite.
We finished the entire batter (around 13 dosas) at one stretch for brunch.
Unlike regular dosas, Vendhaya dosas were so light and fluffy.
Except that this time I didnt have raw rice at home, I used idly rice as a replacement (thank you for replying on instagram).
The result was a VERY SOFT dosa. So soft that it clumped together, I had to mix some rice flour. Next time I shall use raw rice itself.
Thanks so much! I’ve shared this with my mum too.
I wish you a bright future!
Thank you so much Anjali. Really glad you liked the recipe.
