Menthe dose recipe | How to make methi seeds dosa | Menthya dose | Fenugreek seeds dosa

Menthe dose or dosa recipe explained with step by step pictures and a quick video. Menthya dosa is nothing but methi seeds dosa. Menthe dose is prepared using very minimum ingredients like rice and fenugreek seeds. This is a very easy and comforting dosa recipe. Menthe dose or fenugreek seeds dosa can be served with coconut chutney or sambar or ghee and sugar.
I have used idli rice here. However you can use dosa rice as well. I feel dosas will come out good with idli rice. Menthe dose or menthya dose is very healthy. You can prepare the batter using wet grinder or mixer grinder. The only requirement is the batter sould be well fermented or else dosas will turn bitter. You can also use jaggery in this dosa if you like it that way. But add the jaggery after the fermentation before making the dosas. This is a diabetic friendly recipe and also it helps in losing the weight.

Instructions for making menthe dose:

- Take fenugreek seeds in a bowl, rinse it well and soak it for 4 - 5 hours. If using beaten rice rinse and soak it for 30 minutes. Please note, I didn't use it.
- After soaking grind the methi seeds until fine by adding required water gradually. You can use the soaked water as well. Pour the batter into a container.
- In the same jar grind the rice into a fine batter by adding required water. Pour the batter into the container.
- Mix the batter well.
- Close the lid and rest it for 8 - 10 hours in a warm place for fermentation.
- After fermentation, open the lid and add in the required salt. Please note, the batter will not raise much in this recipe. Please note if the batter is not fermented well, dosas may turn bitter.
