Exceptionally Great Indian Fenugreek(Methi) Dosas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups boiled rice, washed and soaked in water for at least 6 hours
    1/2 cup fenugreek seeds, washed and soaked in water for at least 6 hours (methi)
    salt
    1/2 cup sesame seed oil
Preparation
    Using water a little at a time, grind the soaked fenugreek seeds in your grinder until they are fluffy and smooth.
    Then grind the rice to a smooth paste making it a little watery.
    Mix both the rice paste and the fenugreek paste.
    Mix in salt nicely.
    Keep it outside on the kitchen countertop for at least 8 hours to ferment.
    Heat a tava (non-stick griddle) on medium flame until its hot.
    Smear it with 1/2 tsp oil.
    Add water, if necessary, to make the consistency lighter.
    Spread a ladleful of the batter on the tava in a circle.
    Pour 1/2 tsp oil over the dosa.
    Wait for a minute, then turn the dosa over and cook the other side until it is crispy and brownish.
    Serve hot with sambar and tomato chutney or onion chutney or corriander chutney{my personal favourite is the onion chutney}.
    For a variation, finely cut onions, green chillies and coriander leaves can be added as a topping for the dosa.
    Enjoy!
