6-in-1 Breakfast Batter (Idli/Steam Dosa/Dosa/Ponganalu/Uttapam/Punugulu)

6-in-1 Breakfast Batter (Idli/Steam Dosa/Dosa/Ponganalu/Uttapam//Punugulu)

 6-in1 Batter is one common batter that can be used to make 5 different breakfast dishes. This will help you plan your entire weeks Menu (Mon-Sat). Try it!!

Ingredients:
1 cup whole Urad dal
2 cups of idli rice
1 cup of raw rice
1 cup of flat rice
2 tsp of fenugreek seeds
Salt to taste

Method:
Wash and soak urad dal, flat rice and fenugreek seeds in a bowl and rice and idli rice in a separate bowl (this is only for convenience of grinding in a blender) for 7-8 hours.
First blend the urad dal, flat rice and fenugreek seed mixture then both the rice.
Add salt, mix the batter well and leave it overnight to rise.

Day 1 Idli: As the batter is thick today you can make Idli using this batter. Refrigerate the remaining batter immediately.

Day 2 Steam Dosa: Take a portion of batter and add very little water to the batter and make steam dosa. For making steam dosa just pour the batter on the hot griddle and do not rotate. Just add few drops of oil and cover it with a lid and allow it to cook. Do not flip the dosa and just take it off when it is done.

Day 3 Dosa: Today we can take desired quantity of batter and enough water to make dosa.

Day 4 Ponganalu: For making Ponganalu we need to keep the batter moderately thick and also we need the special pan to make them.

Day 5 Uttapam: By now the batter would have become bit sour, its right time to make uttapams.

Day 6 Punugulu: With the leftover batter we can make punugulu either for breakfast or evening snack.

Co-zy Tips:
  1. If you do not have 7-8 hours of soaking time you can soak in hot water for just 2-3 hours and complete the process.
  2. Add some cooking soda in the batter to aid in rising.
  3. You may also add a slice of bread soaked in water to have a perfect fermentation in winters.
  4. If there is no cooking soda and no bread then just leave in a warm corner of the kitchen or inside the oven.
  5. You can prepare the chutney and store in refrigerator and use it for all days.
