"I love dosas amongst the South Indian food that I enjoy! This is a unique one and caught my eye right off the Thursday magazine! I thought that this is a nice change from the usual Masala dosa. I hope you enjoy this Lakshmi Shankar recipe!"

• 3 cups boiled rice, washed and soaked in water for at least 6 hours

3. Mix both the rice paste and the fenugreek paste.

6. Heat a tava (non-stick griddle) on medium flame until its hot.

9. Spread a ladleful of the batter on the tava in a circle.

11. Wait for a minute, then turn the dosa over and cook the other side until it is crispy and brownish.
12. Serve hot with sambar and tomato chutney or onion chutney or corriander chutney{my personal favourite is the onion chutney}.
