Ingredients

• Split urad dal (black gram) flour - 1/4 cup
• Water - 1 1/2 cups

• Curry leaves - 10 leaves, chopped
• Green chilies - 1, finely chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, and salt.
2. Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

4. Add chopped green chilies, grated ginger, curry leaves, and asafoetida to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
5. Pour the tempered mixture into the dosa batter and mix well.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
7. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it evenly in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
