How to Prepare Egg Dosa: A Tasty South Indian Breakfast

Egg dosa is a popular South Indian breakfast dish that is known for its crispy texture and delicious taste. Made with fermented rice and lentil batter, this dish is a favorite among many due to its versatility and ease of preparation. If you’re looking to try your hand at making this delightful breakfast, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to prepare egg dosa.

Ingredients:

– 2 cups rice
– 1 cup urad dal (black gram)
– 1/2 cup poha (flattened rice)
– 1/2 cup moong dal (green gram)
– 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
– 1 cup water (for soaking)
– 2 eggs
– Salt to taste
– Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Begin by soaking the rice, urad dal, moong dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. This will help the ingredients to soften and make the batter smoother.

2. After soaking, grind the rice, urad dal, moong dal, and fenugreek seeds together in a blender. Add 1 cup of water while blending to achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be of a semi-thick consistency.

3. Set the batter aside and let it ferment for 8-10 hours or overnight. The fermentation process is crucial for the dosa to taste good.

4. Once the batter has fermented, add the poha and salt to taste. Mix well to combine.

5. Heat a dosa pan or a flat non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pan.

6. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin, round dosa. Ensure that the batter is evenly spread and there are no gaps.

7. Crack an egg into the center of the dosa. You can also add a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa to prevent sticking.

8. Cook the dosa on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to brown and the egg is cooked. Flip the dosa over using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.

9. Once the dosa is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the pan and serve hot. You can garnish the egg dosa with coconut chutney, sambar, or any other of your favorite toppings.

Enjoy your delicious egg dosa with a side of hot tea or coffee for a perfect South Indian breakfast experience!
