The dosa batter ratio is 1:1 where you have to use 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of black gram or urad dal for making the batter.
The very first step is you have to wash and soak the rice and black gram in separate bowls. You can even add some methi seeds or fenugreek, but I am not adding it today.
Once the rice gets soft and black gram doubles in its size, you have to grind both of it separately. For a larger quantity of batter you have to use a grinder for grinding the batter.
To make dosa batter in mixie you can grind only a little bit of batter in batches.
The dosa batter consistency really matters while making dosa. So grind it in a thick pouring consistency. After making the batter you have to leave it undisturbed for sometime to get the perfect texture.
