Black urid dal dosa also called as mulu ulundhu dosa in Tirunelveli. This is a famous breakfast dish in Tirunelveli. This is an easy and healthy dosa with rice, black urid dal and fenugreek. We often prepare this dosa for weekend breakfast or dinner. The addition of black urid dal with its skin is what it makes it so special and unique.
Black urid dal contains a lot of nutritional value. In most of our food items we include black urid dal rather than the white variety. This black urid dal dosa is also super easy to make with simple two step process. I use split black gram dal in this recipe, but you may also use the whole black gram dal. Many people have a doubt that if black split grams are ground along with the skin then how it will taste. It is very tasty if they are ground and fermented properly. The best accompaniment for this black urid dal dosa are onion garlic coconut thuvaiyal, ellu podi and powdered palm jaggery.
Start by grinding the urid dal first. Add it to grinder and sprinkle water little by little. Grind it for 12 to 15 minutes.
After 12 hours, mix the batter well with the ladle.
Use the spatula under the dosa and gently flip the dosa. Cook for 1 more minute and remove from the pan.

Can I use raw rice alone alongwith black urud dhal?
ReplyDeleteOh yes.

DeleteSoak the dal and rice separately. First grind the dal until fluffy and then add the rice and grind. If you grind all the ingredients together the dosas will be little hard.
