Cook Time

Welcome to Hyderabadi Ruchulu, where we are excited to share a versatile batter recipe that can be used to make both idli and dosa. Rather than creating two separate batters for each dish, this recipe will save you time and effort by using the same batter for both by making 2 in 1 idli dosa batter. Additionally, this batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week to prepare delicious meals whenever you desire.
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Indian
Keyword: South Indian idli and dosa
Servings: 3
Ingredients
1 cup Black Gram
4 cups Idli Rice

To create this batter, we will be using idli rice, which makes it suitable for a variety of dishes.
Lets see how to make the multipurpose batter
To begin, take a mixing bowl and add one cup of black gram.
Wash it one to two times before adding half a cup of flattened rice and one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds. Soak these ingredients in water for a minimum of four hours.
Next, take four cups of idli rice, wash it two times, and soak it in water for at least four hours. If you are using a mixer instead of a grinder, only use three cups of idli rice.
Grind the soaked black gram first, and once it becomes soft, remove it from the grinder.
Now, remove the black gram batter and add the soaked idli rice
Grind until soft
Mix both the batter with your hands and let it ferment for 8 hours
Seal it in an air-tight container
Let’s see how to make idli batter
Take the required amount of batter
Add some water and salt to it until the required consistency is obtained
Spread some ghee or clarified butter on the idli plates
Pour the batter and close the lid
Steam for about 12 minutes

Jason Todd x South Asian!Reader HCs
requested | reader is fem, i tried to keep it non-specific so it applies to the whole region, not just india, hopefully i succeeded😬
i looooved writing this it was so much fun. drop an ask with anything else you want to see!!
batboys x south asian!reader masterlist
When you show him Bollywood movies, at first he’s like “Why are these so damn long?” But watches them anyway because you’re so excited to show him
He obviously sobs at K3G (because he has daddy AND big brother issues)
But his favorite is probably 3 Idiots or Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (he just seems like the type to looove an underdog story am I right)
Since Jason likes cooking, he’s learning how to make all your favorite foods. He’s eaten a lot of Indian food before (duh, it’s New Jersey), so he’s familiar with the flavors and spices, but some dishes are easier than others. He tries to make dosa after you mentioned liking it but it does not go well
He’s trying so hard to impress you but they all keep breaking😭 and the ones that don’t break come out burnt. When he finally relents and lets you help him, you hold his hand and guide him to make the proper movements; pouring the batter, spreading it into a circle, and gently flipping it so it doesn’t break
He loves chai, and is always experimenting with different recipes and flavors and asking you to test them
You're taking him to the Indian market so often, by the end of the month he knows the names for all the vegetables and spices in your language and where to find them
He thinks you with mehendi/henna is the most attractive thing ever
Your friend’s getting married? Of course he’ll feed you while your mehendi’s drying, you don't even have to ask
When it's still fresh and at its darkest color he's actually going batshit insane (pun intended); he loves interlacing your fingers together and seeing the contrast of your dark, decorated fingers against his large, strong ones. His phone background is a selfie of you guys where your faces are squished side-by-side and one of your mehendi'd hands is cupping his cheek
And when you're on top of him, the sight of your adorned hands pressed flat against his bare chest, flushed and heaving...he thinks it belongs in a museum
He just loves doing little acts of service; one day you’re complaining offhandedly to him about how the price of eyebrow threading keeps going up, a week later you’ve forgotten all about it but he’s like “I learned how to thread your eyebrows”
He figured it would be easy enough, and as someone who’s life often depends on steady, surgical aim and precision, it is
Roy’s walking around looking messed up as fuck for a couple weeks but that’s beside the point because he’s got the hang of it now
When it comes to putting on a sari, he'll put the pins in the hard to reach places if you ask, but for the most part he just loves watching you put it on. he thinks it's so cute the way you scrunch your face in focus as you make the folds and tuck in the fabric with such concentration (Jason Todd domesticity agenda)
One night you're getting dressed up for some party, but no matter what you do and how many times you take it off and try to re-drape it, it just won't come out good and you get so frustrated and teary-eyed that he has to intervene
He makes you take a break, brings you a snack, and kisses you until you feel better, and then he pulls up a youtube video to do it for you— but he can't do it either😭
So you both decide to give up and you wear a lehenga instead
It’s a fairly modest one, and even though he's seen you wearing more-revealing clothes (and none at all), he's going crazy over that one inch sliver of exposed skin on your midriff
He already loves seeing you dressed up in traditional wear but if you put jasmine flowers in your hair with it??? The fragrance coming from you makes him feral. It lingers in your hair for a couple days and he can’t stop following you around and sniffing you LMAO
The first time you get a kurta for him, it’s actually impossible to find one that fits because he’s so big and buff (drool) so you just end up buying the fabric and getting it custom stitched
There's only a few scraps of the fabric left and you get the wonderful idea of braiding the scraps into a bracelet so you have something to match with him and it makes him go crazy
Early on in your relationship, you’re a little afraid to have oil in your hair in front of him because you’re worried he’ll think the smell is too strong
Jason is probably familiar with the practice of hair oiling from his time with Talia (but you don’t know that yet)
He actually LOVES when you oil your hair around him. Just something about him being the only one who gets to see you when you’re comfy and unready is so intimate to him and makes him feel so special and trusted and loved🥹
Time for some of my physical touch x touch starved!Jason propaganda
After a particularly difficult night of patrolling, he comes to you stressed and anxious and unsure what to do with himself. So you make him sit on the floor in front of your bed, warm up some of the oil, and seat yourself on the edge of the mattress. He leans back against your legs and you massage the warm oil into his scalp. It feels heavenly. You’re using the perfect amount of pressure, hitting all the right spots, and it feels so good he wants to cry. Later, when you pull him into the shower to shampoo it out, he actually does cry, hoping the water falling from the shower head hides the tears (it doesn’t, and it breaks your heart)
(If you were raised Hindu) I think he'd be very interested in the belief in reincarnation, past & future lives, oneness with the universe, etc...it might help him make some sense of his coming back
You bring mediation into his life, and that also really helps him
You wear Kajal/kohl/surma on your eyes, and whenever he’s looking especially good, or before he goes out as red hood, you smudge some onto your finger and put a mark behind his ear, just to be safe (it’s believed to deflect jealousy/bad intentions from others) (yes I’m superstitious sue me)
Or you just tie a black thread around his ankle
When you first explain to him that you want him to wear a black thread around his ankle because of a superstition, he thinks you’re joking. He can’t believe you actually believe in that
But he can’t say no to you and he secretly likes that you also have one so it feels like you’re matching
He considers it a good luck charm, not because he believes the superstition but because it’s from you

My "Batter" Half
A/N: Written for @tsukimefuku's foodies and goodies challenge. Coming out of a bit of a writing slump with everything going on atm, so I hope this doesn't disappoint.
Pairing: Nanami x Fem! Reader (Desi reader coded)
Rating: E, safe, fluffy, cute
Word Count: 897
Nanami sits on one of the barstools at your kitchen’s island watching you bustle around getting all the grains the recipe called for.
“Sweetie, I only asked if it was possible sometime this week. You don’t have to make it for me right away.”
You shush him, pushing your hair out of the way as you measure the Sona Masoori rice, flat rice, and fenugreek, throwing them all into a large baking bowl and hefting the bowl towards the sink, adding in enough water so that a thin layer covered all of it. You cover the bowl with saran wrap and place it away on the countertop.
There was no question that you loved cooking for Nanami, but something in you glowed when he asked for South Indian food. There was a regular rotation in what the pair of you cooked but when he asked for masala dosa, you melted inside, all of your senses kicking into high gear to feed him what he craved. It was comfort food for you growing up, and it meant the world to you that he had grown to love it too.
He knew the effort it took, an almost 2-day process just to make the batter, so he didn’t normally ask for it. The first step was done, letting the grains ferment overnight in water. You wash your hands and join him at the island.
“It’s no trouble at all Kento. Anything for you.” You rest your head against his shoulder, a soft sigh emanating from him as he puts an arm around you. “Hopefully it’ll be all nice and soft tomorrow. Then I’ll run it through the grinder to make the batter and it’ll have to sit overnight in the oven, so don’t plan on baking anything tomorrow.”
He chuckles, the soft vibrations felt against your hair. “Roger that. But you still didn’t have to get started so immediately.”
“You rarely ask for anything. I couldn’t resist.” You press a kiss to his cheek. “Let’s go to bed.”
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
The next day morning, you check the bowl, pleased to see all the components have fluffed up and taken in as much water as they could. You begin to set up the little grinder that would change the grains into batter, carefully placing the rod mechanism attached to two 5-pound stones into the apparatus. Once in place, you switch it on, and carefully begin adding the grain mixture in between the two stones, adding water to help it along and adjust the thickness. Once all the rice has been put into the contraption, you sit and wait, watching the batter form, checking it for smoothness and ensuring the grain wasn’t clustering into lumps.
You salt the mixture well and then cover it again with saran wrap, then place it inside the oven, where the added humidity would help the batter thicken and rise, making for the fluffiest dosas.
Kento wanders downstairs, ready for work in a crisp shirt and tie, eyes taking in the scene in the kitchen. “Someone was up early today,” he observes as you start disassembling the grinding machine. You give him a pleased smile and carefully set the heavy stones back into the box they belonged in.
“Had to. The earlier I start the process, the quicker it’ll ferment. Who knows, maybe even by tonight if we get lucky.”
Nanami smiles tenderly and pulls you into a hug. “Whenever honey. I’m just glad you took the time to make it.”
You kiss him tenderly before he leaves for work.
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
The day has finally arrived. You check the oven and almost giggle from the delight of seeing the fluffy batter resting in the large bowl. It was ready.
As Nanami slept in, a rare luxury he could only afford on weekends, you begin prepping the dosa filling, throwing the potatoes into a pressure cooker, while chopping onions into half-circles. Once the pressure cooker whistles 3 times, you take it off the flame, waiting for it to cool, before mashing the potatoes. Deftly, you heat the oil in a large wok, tossing in mustard seeds, green chilies, and black lentils for tempering. Once they start to sizzle, you throw a few curry leaves on top, the pleasant crackle bringing a smile to your lips.
The onions and potatoes are tossed into the wok and mixed with a pinch of turmeric, and some cilantro. A fragrant scent fills the kitchen as you set it aside and get ready to make the dosa. A ladle dipped into the fluffy batter, then spread thinly on a greased pan, going in concentric circles from the middle until it starts to heat up and harden, becoming crisp. You scoop some of the onion potato filling and place it in the center, allowing the dosa to harden a little longer before folding it in half and placing it on a plate.
You’re about to start the second one when Nanami wanders into the kitchen, still in his pajamas.
“My nose woke me up,” he says good-naturedly, wrapping his arms around your waist.
You sigh contentedly, laying down the batter for the next one as Nanami breaks off a piece of dosa and tucks into the filling. He chews and swallows, savoring the spice.
“Delicious,” he whispers, and your heart swells with joy, his appreciation the only thing you needed.

Idli & Dosa recipe
Next week I'm going to post my long-promised Indian Film Fest 2024, complete with recommendation lists of my fave films. As an appetiser, here's one of the things I've been working on that was inspired by my love of Indian film.
Idli and dosa are Indian side dishes that I recently discovered and fell in love with. Idli are delicious savory steamed cakes meant to be eaten in place of bread or rice, and dosa are crispy pancakes. The same batter can be used to make either.
You can buy inexpensive idli steamers to fit into pots you already own, but there are also fancy all-in-one numbers. The trays are shown below.
Dosa are generally made very thin and crispy - basically a pancake - but can also be made a bit thicker and fluffier, depending on your preference.
The traditional Indian recipe for idli and dosa starts with uncooked rice and dried urad dal beans. They are soaked and then ground and mixed together. The batter is left overnight to develop natural yeast, which makes the idli and dosa fluffy when cooked. However, none of this is very practical. I figured there had to be another way to make them at home without buying a grinder, and did a bit of research. Sure enough, there are instant mixes on the market. I ordered one from a specialty shop and it was nice, and the ingredients were pretty much what I’d guessed they’d be – mainly rice and dal flour (although many instant mixes add semolina, so beware if you’re gluten free), and to make the batter you add in yoghurt to replace the natural yeast.
I’ve done some experiments and found a way to make something that’s close to the idlis I’ve eaten at restaurants. My dosas made with this batter aren’t as thin and crispy (still nice though). My recipe is made with ingredients that should be available locally at most supermarkets – I found these ingredients at both Woolworths and Coles in Australia.
Batter ingredients
White rice flour, not too finely ground (don’t use rice starch). Mckenzie's Rice Flour works well
Donna Hay* plain or self-raising flour OR equal parts sorghum flour mixed with brown rice flour
Besan flour** OR urad dal flour
Plain yoghurt (not lite). I use Greek yoghurt
A little xanthan gum or psyllium husks if you need to make the batter stickier
Salt
Baking powder
Water
* The Donna Hay flour is a mix of brown rice flour, glutinous rice flour and sorghum flour, and also has a high proportion of xanthan gum. Unfortunately, you can’t just use this as the only source of flour, or your batter will turn into glue when you attempt to cook it because of the xanthan. Ask me how I know. ☹
** Besan flour is not traditional, but urad dal flour is not available locally. Besan isn’t quite as neutral in flavour, but has a nice taste and works well as a substitute.
Making the batter
Measure out the ingredients in the following proportions:
2 white rice flour – 1 Donna Hay flour – 1 besan flour – 2 yoghurt
OR
1 white rice flour – 1 sorghum flour – 1 brown rice flour – 1 besan flour – 2 yoghurt
Put all the ingredients into a large bowl. Then add the following:
Salt – about ¼ tsp per cup of flour, or to taste.
Optional xanthan gum – this is not needed if you’ve used the Donna Hay flour. If you’ve made your own mix of flours a small amount of xanthan gum will help the batter stick together while cooking, especially if you make dosa. About ½ tsp per cup of flour. I prefer the taste and texture of psyllium husks which isn't quite as sticky but have a similar effect. About 1 tsp per cup of flour.
Water – enough to make a thick pancake batter, start with about the same quantity as the total number of cups of flour, but mix it in bit by bit.
Mix batter until smooth and set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Right before cooking, add:
Baking powder – about 2 tsps per cup of flour.
If you have leftover batter, you can store it covered in the fridge. Before cooking, you may need to add a small amount of extra baking powder.
I tested both of the above proportional batter options, and they both worked, although the second option was a bit crumbly for making dosa without some xanthan gum or psyllium added. When I trialled the Donna Hay option, I used their self-raising flour, but the batter still needed baking powder – without it, the idli were solid, chewy lumps. They should be fluffy clouds!
If you use ½ cup white rice flour, ¼ cup Donna Hay flour, ¼ cup besan flour, ½ cup yoghurt, it will make about 12 to 15 idli.
My favourite combination is ¼ cup white rice flour, ¼ cup brown rice flour, ¼ cup sorghum flour, ¼ cup besan, ½ cup yoghurt, around 1 scant cup water, pinch salt.
Steaming idli
Prepare the steamer. Follow the instructions for the idli steamer you buy, but generally, you need to lightly oil the idli cups, and spoon in about 1 Tblspn batter to each.
Idlis take about 10 minutes to steam, and are ready when you can slide a knife in and it comes out clean. To remove from the idli pan, just slide the knife around each idli, and they will pop out. Serve on a plate that’s covered in a paper towel or cotton napkin or clean tea-towel.
Good with curries and soups, or anything you’d eat with rice, but also lovely as a breakfast dish in place of toast, with baked beans, omelette, or jam. They are nicest when fresh, but warm up well in the microwave the next day.
Frying dosa
Dosa are best cooked on either a cast iron pan or a non-stick pan. Warm the pan and spray or wipe on some oil. Spoon batter in a thin layer and shake the pan to even it out. Put a lid on the pan for about five to ten minutes, depending on the thickness of your dosa (I like my dosa slightly thicker than crepe-thin and find that the little bit of steam caused by putting the lid on makes it cook more evenly).
Once the bottom is brown, take the lid off and flip the dosa, and finish cooking without the lid. It’s done when cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Serve as you would a pancake, chapati or other flatbread.
If you end up trying these, I'd love to hear about it. :)
Enjoy!

Masala Dosas Make You a Better Lover
Before going to the masala dosa batter recipe, I would like to say a few things.You can use the regular dosa batter for making masala dosa. Refer the link given below. I am giving another batter recipe specially for masala dosa. I have tried this several times and it is tasty, has a nice brown color, but you must have the dosa hot. Dosa Batter recipe.
Method
Soak par cooked rice, raw rice, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, Bengal gramme, and tur dal for 4-5 hours in adequate water.
Wash and blend everything together until it's a smooth texture, a bit at a time, adding water as needed. For grinding, I used a wet grinder. Add the necessary salt and leave it to ferment overnight. The time it takes for the wine to ferment varies depending on the weather.
To acquire the Dosa batter consistency, add a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of water before forming the dosa. Masala dosa batter is ready to use. Now we'll look at how to prepare masala dosa filling (potato filling or potato bhaji).

Explore The Best Breakfast Choices For Weight Loss
The first meal of the day is breakfast. Breakfast is good for your mental and physical well-being. Healthy food gives the body what it needs to start the day by replenishing blood sugar or glucose.
Breakfast is crucial for individuals of all ages, particularly kids and teenagers. Breakfast eaters are more likely to be more focused, capable of solving problems, and have better hand-eye coordination.
They might also be more creative and aware. A hearty and nutritious breakfast generally helps prevent many lifestyle disorders, including diabetes, PCOD, and hypertension.
In English, "breakfast" means ending the fast from the previous night. There are a variety of "typical" or "traditional" breakfast alternatives, with cuisine selections varying globally based on geography and custom.
5 Simple Vegan Breakfast Ideas
There are plenty of vegan breakfast options available. Your morning meal with a delicious vegan spread gives your body the nutrition it needs. Nonetheless, milk, bread and butter, an omelette, and scrambled eggs make up the majority of Indians' breakfasts. Here are some vegan options for Indian breakfast that you can try from ToneOp:
1. Roti/Paratha With Vegan Curd Or Sabzi
A great and easy vegan breakfast option is paratha/roti with sabzi, a North Indian breakfast classic. To make a complete meal, add some vegan curd to the mixture. Steer clear of butter and ghee when cooking. To make your paratha even more delicious and nutrient-dense, stuff it with veggies like potatoes, cauliflower, radish, and coriander.
2. Dosa/Idli With Chutney And Sambar
Sambar and idli/dosa make a pretty simple breakfast. Sambar is a hot curry with vegetables, including onion, carrots, and tomatoes. Since split black gram and rice are used to make idli/dosa, they are high in fibre. Together, they make a delicious vegan breakfast.
3. Upma
Upma, also known as rava upma, is a traditional breakfast dish that is a savoury porridge prepared with a mixture of vegetables and semolina. This makes a tasty and nutritious dinner, especially with filter coffee or vegan chai.
4. Besan Chilla
In North India, besan chillas are a well-known dish that is both vegan and gluten-free. They are made by creating crepes using a spicy chickpea flour batter, which is easy to prepare.
5. Dalia
Dalia, also called broken wheat porridge, is a well-liked and nourishing vegan breakfast option. It is tasty and an excellent source of fibre, protein, and essential nutrients such as iron and magnesium.
7 Recipes For Egg Breakfasts
Here are a few recipes for egg breakfasts:
1. Mughlai Paratha
The quintessential Indian staple, parthas go well with almost anything. One such variation with a sizable fan base is Mughlai Paratha. From West Bengal, India, to Bangladesh, people love the traditional Bengali street food known as mughlai paratha, fried to perfection and loaded with eggs.
2. Baked Eggs

Uttapam recipe:-
Idli batter: I used leftover idli batter, but you can also use dosa batter. Alternatively, you may buy a store-bought jar of idli dosa batter.
vegetable: I used onion, bell pepper, and carrots as vegetables. You may also include beets, cabbage, maize, spinach, drumstick leaves, and other vegetables.
Green chili: It gives a hint of heat, but it's optional for youngsters who don't want to bite into chillies.
Idli podi: This is sprinkled on top of the fried uttapam. It is entirely optional.

It's Pancake Day!
Pancakes are a remarkably versatile foodstuff: French crêpes, Indian dosas, even Ethiopian injera, all fall under the same delightful banner. As Ken Albala, author of a gloriously comprehensive “global history” of the things explains, “any starchy batter … cooked in a small amount of fat on a flat surface” counts. But in Britain, as any schoolchild knows, modern pancakes are descended from those specifically designed to use up fat before the beginning of Lent, which means they tend to be heavier on the eggs and butter than, say, the fluffy American stack, or the squat Russian blini.
Elizabethan pancakes Interestingly, the oldest recipe for pancakes as we know them comes from an English cookery book – the Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchen (1594 edition) – but it’s even richer than the modern incarnation: a pint of “thicke Creame”, 5 egg yolks, “a good handful of flower” and 2 or 3 tablespoons of ale, seasoned with copious amounts of sugar, cinnamon and ginger.
Albala assures me that “the result is a horrible mess” with these proportions (“one can only imagine the author was either careless or had gargantuan hands”), but once I’ve added enough flour to make it into a more workable consistency, I manage to create a pancake, of sorts, from the mixture. It’s so meltingly rich it’s all but impossible to flip, which is clearly no good at all: tasty, but more of a chaser to some roasted peacock and a goblet of sack than one for the modern kitchen.
Puritan pancakes The 17th century ushered in more sober tastes – Gervase Markham’s 1615 recipe uses two eggs, a “pretty quantity of faire running water,” cloves, mace, cinnamon and nutmeg, all beaten together, “which done make thicke as you think food with fine wheate flower”. (No one can accuse these old-school food writers of being prescriptive.) Spice aside, they’re pretty dull things; rubbery and heavy. Cream may be taking things too far, but milk is a must.
Perfect pancakes
Makes about 8
125g plain flour Pinch of salt 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk 225ml whole or semi-skimmed milk Small knob of butter 1. Sift the flour in a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, and pour the egg and the yolk into it. Mix the milk with 2 tbsp water and then pour a little in with the egg and beat together. 2. Whisk the flour into the liquid ingredients, drawing it gradually into the middle until you have a smooth paste the consistency of double cream. Whisk the rest of the milk in until the batter is more like single cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least half an hour. 3. Heat the butter in a frying pan on a medium-high heat – you only need enough fat to just grease the bottom of the pan. It should be hot enough that the batter sizzles when it hits it. 4. Spread a small ladleful of batter across the bottom of the pan, quickly swirling to coat. Tip any excess away. When it begins to set, loosen the edges with a thin spatula or palette knife, and when it begins to colour on the bottom, flip it over with the same instrument and cook for another 30 seconds. (If you’re feeling cocky, you can also toss the pancake after loosening it: grasp the handle firmly with both hands, then jerk the pan up and slightly towards you.)
5. Pancakes are best eaten as soon as possible, before they go rubbery, but if you’re cooking for a crowd, keep them separate until you’re ready to serve by layering them up between pieces of kitchen roll.
