Dosa / dosai is a fermented crepe made from rice and urad dal. It's a staple dish in southern India. It's also well known in Sri Lanka., Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar(where they call it as Thosay). It is served with sambar, coconut chutney, pudhina chutney.
I always wanted to make hotel style crispy dosa at home. But failed at the end as the batter we make at home was little bit different from them. So I go on trying the perfect way of preparing and finally made one like that. Today I'm going to tell you the secret of this recipe.
Here goes the recipe.

Rice - 1/2 cup plus 2tblspn
Urad dal - 3/4 cup
