Recipe Notes
- Don't add excess water while grinding. You can add water later after fermentation according to the need, based on the dish you are going to make.
- I recommend soaking for 8 hours and 12 hours of fermentation, but if you are in a hurry then 6 hours soaking and 8 hours fermentation will also do.
- If you do not have time for fermentation then add a cup of curd to the batter along with a half teaspoon of baking soda for making instant dosa or idli or uttapam.
