Grind the soaked rice and dal separately into a smooth batter, adding water as needed.
Ensure the batter is smooth but not too runny for the perfect dosa consistency.

Fermentation enhances the flavor and makes the dosas light and crispy.
Cook the red lentils in water until soft, then sauté with onions, green chili, turmeric, and cumin seeds.
