Hi Doc..
Can we prepare dosa without fragmentation??
Hema says
Yes, you can use without fermentation, but fermented batter is the best.
shiwali says
Hi doctor…is 2 hours enough for soaking and fermentation?i think dals should be soaked for atleast 8hrs and fermentation process is also long for dosa but why 2 hrs for this recipe?
Hema says
Hi,
2 Hours of soaking and 2 hours of fermentation is the minimum time. You can keep for extra hours for more fermentation.
