as i was explaining earlier, this recipe is very similar to the appam or the popular neer dosa recipe. it is due to the way it is prepared, the set of ingredients and the consistency of the dosa batter. firstly, the ingredients used in this recipe is limited to the rice (both cooked and raw rice). even though have added urad dal it is very minimal. adding urad helps to hasten the fermentation process and hence i have added it. secondly, the cooked rice not only helps to improve the consistency of the dosa batter but also helps to get the sourness to the batter. in addition, if you noticed the consistency of the dosa batter is very similar to the neer dosa. this helps to spread the dosa easily and also get the porous texture to the dosa when it is cooked. this makes it more interesting and appetising especially when served with spicy curry.
