Paper Roast
Dosas are one of the staple dish in our house..Amma don’t make those thick dosa always, because we are not a fan of it.. She makes paper thin dosa always…If you are wondering whether it is difficult to make then check out my post.. You will know how easy it is.
The term paper roast has become so ingrained in South Indian culinary jargon that it hardly registers as an English phrase. Paper roast isn't just another type of dosa. It has an additional aura. It's paper-thin and roasted to the point of resembling burnished gold! Its wafer-crisp, and you can feel it crackle as it melts in your mouth
with each bite.
A dosa is a thin (usually crispy) South Indian flat bread made from a fermented batter primarily composed of lentils and rice. Rice and black gram are the main ingredients, which are ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt and fermented.
You can check Amma Dosa & Idli Batter right here..This version of dosa batter makes a perfect crispy dosa and soft idlis..
Dosas will turn dark brown if you add a lot of Urad Dal to the batter. Lentils are frequently used to give Dosas and other similar dishes a crispy texture and golden brown colour. It will also have an effect on taste.
Paper roast comes in a variety of shapes, including circular, triangle- folded, and standing conical. The golden dosas contrast beautifully with the green of the plantain leaf. Steaming sambar and the textured white of the coconut chutney are tucked alongside the paper roast.
So without any more delay off you go to the recipe.

Wow, Aarthi. I took a peek at making the batter and it sure looks pretty tedious to me. And I would think a regular kitchen blender might not get it to be as smooth as it should be.
This looks really good but I think I'll just go to the corner Indian restaurant for my dosas. 😀

Just a suggestion for better browning of dosa.
Soak methi seeds in water overnight and grind it along with the urad Dhall. The batter rises/ferments better and gives you lovely golden brown dosas.

Hi how I love dosas sadly aarthi I am not able to make one it gets messed up as soon as I try to spread it. Can you demonstrate some technique for that. Thanks
Aarthi
@AnonymousU should never spread dosa on oiled tawa, oil the tawa well and then wipe off the oil with a towel, then spread the dosa it will spread evenly adn crisp up.

Bt aarthi how to make batter smooth.. my dosa batter is always been little bit course
Aarthi
@Amita Choudharygrind urad dal till fluffy and fine and smooth. Rice grind it for longer time, it wont get super smooth, but a little coarse is good too

I too face the same problem. As soon as I try to spread the batter it starts to mess up and looks like its boiling. Also my dosas are coming out dry and white. Please give me a solution for this
Aarthi
@Anonymousi think it is because of too much rice..
