In this sorekai dosa recipe, I have used less urad dal. Bottle gourd gives the required softness to the dosa. However if you want the dosa to be more soft, then either increase the urad dal quantity or add beaten rice (avalakki).

Preparation time: 14 hours
Cooking time: 30 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup dosa rice
- 2 cup chopped sorekai or bottle gourd
- 3 - 4 tbsp urad dal
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 0 - 1/4 cup beaten rice or avalakki
- Ghee or oil for cooking
- Salt as per your taste
Instructions for making sorekai dose:
- Take rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a container. Soak it for 4 - 5 hours.
- After soaking, drain the water and transfer the soaked ingredients into a mixie jar. Soak and add beaten rice (avalakki) to make the dosa soft.
- Grind until fine batter by adding required water. Transfer it into a container.
- Next take chopped bottle gourd in the same jar. Please note, I have peeled and deseeded the bottle gourd. However if the bottle gourd is tender, you need not peel it or deseed it.
- Grind until fine without adding water. Transfer it into the same container.
- Mix the batter well. Close the lid and rest it for 7 - 8 hours in a warm place for fermentation.
- After fermentation, open the lid and add the required salt. Give a quick mix. The batter shall have regular urad dosa batter consistency.
- Now heat the dosa pan and grease it. I used cast iron pan. You can use any dosa pan. Pour a laddle full of batter and spread it in a circular way.
- Close the lid for 5 - 10 seconds. Allow it to cook under medium flame.
- Open the lid, drizzle some oil, fold the dosa and take it out. Serve it with any chutney of your choice.
