Cholam idli and dosa is one recipe which i made recently and loved it instantly. It is a simple recipe and taste really delicious. The batter made is multi purpose, you can make idli, dosa, kuzhi paniyaram, uthappam using that batter. The idlies turns out so soft and fluffy. Dosa turns out crispy..I have already share cholam kuzhipaniyaram here..

Ingredients:
Cholam / Jowar / Sorghum – 1 cup
Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu – 1/4 cup
Fenugreek Seeds / Vendayam – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for making dosa
Method:
Wash cholam and dal well. Add fenugreek to the urad dal and soak them separately for 4 to 5 hours.
Now take dal and fenugreek mix in a blender and add water little by little and make it into a smooth fluffy puree. Take this in a bowl.
Now add the jowar to the same blender and puree again till smooth. It wont get smooth, but try to get as smooth as possible. Dont add too much water, add little by little.
Now pour this in to the dal mix and add salt. Mix well and let it ferment for 8 hours or overnight.
Now the next day give it a good mix, spoon this in a idli mould and steam for 5 to 6 mins. You can make the batter a little thin and make crispy dosa too.
Now remove it and serve hot with chutney..
