Instructions:

For Dill Dosa Batter:

1. Wash the rice, urad dal, chana dal, and toor dal together. Soak them in enough water for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.

2. After soaking, drain the water and grind the mixture to a smooth batter using as little water as possible. The batter should be thick and smooth.

3. Add salt to the batter and mix well.

4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped dill leaves, green chilies, grated ginger, and asafoetida.

5. Add the dill mixture to the dosa batter and mix well to incorporate the dill leaves evenly.

6. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume.

For Seasoning (Tadka):

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan.

2. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

3. Add the curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds. Remove the tadka from the heat.

To Make Dill Dosa:

1. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron griddle (tava) over medium-high heat. Grease it with a little oil.

2. Pour a ladleful of Dill Dosa batter onto the center of the hot griddle.

3. Quickly spread the batter in a circular motion to make a thin, round dosa. Drizzle a little oil along the edges of the dosa.

4. Drizzle a small amount of the prepared tadka over the dosa.

5. Cook the dosa until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden and crisp.

6. Flip the dosa and cook the other side until it's lightly browned.

7. Serve the Dill Dosa hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.

Dill Dosa is a unique and flavorful twist on traditional dosa, and the dill leaves add a delightful aroma and taste to this dish. Enjoy it as a wholesome South Indian breakfast or snack!
