Perfect weekend breakfast: Onion Dosa with Daal chutany

After living in B'lore for so long, we like to have dosas for breakfast. Everyday it is slightly time consuming to prepare dosas even if batter is ready. So we generally make dosa over weekend. Dosa is very easy to make and you can have it for breakfast, dinner anytime. Only thing you need to do right is timing. If you want to have dosa for Saturday morning breakfast, then you've to soak rice and daal on Friday morning and grind same on Friday night.
So here's recipe for Onion Dosa with daal chutney

Ingredients:
Dosa batter
- 4 Cups of Rice.Generally thick grain rice is used, but you can use any type of rice.
- 1 cup of urad daal.
- Salt to taste
Toppings
- 1 large onion chopped
- 7-8 green chillies
- 1 small carrot grated. (Per B'lore dosa recipe, if you like).
For Daal Chutney
- 1 small cup of Chana daal
- 1 Cup curd
- 3-4 red chillies
- 2-3 green chillies
- 1 tbl spoon cumin seeds
- 1 tbl spoon paanch fodan
- salt to taste

Dosa receipe
1. Soak rice and daal separately for 8-10 hrs. Make sure you wash rice and daal very thoroughly till the washing water is almost clear.
2. After required soaking, first grind the daal till batter is very smooth. One simple taste to check that is in small bowlful of water drop small ball of batter. If it riser to water surface immediately, then batter is perfect.
3. Once daal is grinded, grind rice again into smooth paste.
4. Now mix daal and rice batter together. Add pinch of salt. Leave it overnight to ferment. It will take 7-8 hrs to rise.
5. Now when starting to prepare dosa, start heating non-stick tawa on high flame. Don't put oil initially as you'll not be able to spread batter properly.
6. For onion dosa, batter should not be very thin. Put 2 laddleful of batter on tawa and spread it. Immediately put chooped onion and chilli and pat it slightly over batter. Put 1tbl sp oil around dosa. Cook it for 3-4 min.After one side is browned, turn dosa to cook side with onions. Remove from tawa,once onions are slightly darkened.

Chutney
1. Add 2 tbl sp of oil in frying pan. Once oil is headed, add paanch fotan and red chillies and let it splutter. Add chana daal (thoroughly washed)and fry till its golden brown.
2. Soak fried daal for 15-20 min, then grind it roughly with some salt.
3. Now prepare tadka(heat oil, add some green chillies, cummin seeds)and pour it over grounded daal.
3. Later add curd to complete preparation.
