Method
1. Wash & Soak the Urad dal, rice,methi seeds with water for at least 4-6 hours.

2. Grind the soaked ingredients with enough water into a batter,But keep in mind not to add too much water and make the batter running.

3.Boil idly rava with some water and add it to the batter and mix well without any lumps.

4.Allow batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8-10 hours. Make sure the container has enough room for the batter to rise.

5. Place a non stick griddle on medium heat.Add salt and water(if required) to the batter.

6. Once hot, pour a ladle full of batter at the center,With the back of the ladle, spread the batter,Start from the center and work outwards, in a fast circular motion.

Note: Spread the batter as soon as you pour it on the griddle. The batter will start getting cooked other wise batter stick to the ladle, if you try spreading it after a while.

7.Drip few drops of oil in the middle of dosa.Let it cook on medium heat until it turns light golden brown in color.

8.Now add a laddle of  Potato masala in the centre and roll the dosa.

9. Remove from griddle and offer it to the Lord with tulasi leaf.

note:
The fermentation is slow in winter and quick during summer. The key to getting nice dosas is in fermenting the batter.
