Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the Sona Masoori rice, poha, methi, masoor daal, tuver daal, mag daal, chana daal, and udad daal.

2. 2.Rinse and Soak

   Rinse the combined rice and dals thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear. Then, soak them in fresh water for 8-12 hours.

3. 3.Soak Poha Separately

   Separately, soak the poha in water for 15-20 minutes just before blending.

4. 4.Blend the Batter

   Drain the soaked rice and dals. Add the soaked poha and a portion of the soaked rice and dals to a blender. Add a little water at a time and blend until a smooth batter forms. Repeat this process in batches until all ingredients are blended.

5. 5.Ferment the Batter

   Transfer the blended batter to a clean pot. Let the batter ferment for 8-12 hours. This can be done in an Instant Pot on the yogurt setting or in a warm place like an oven with the light on.

6. 6.Prepare for Use

   Once fermented, take the desired amount of batter. Add a pinch of salt and a little water to adjust the consistency. Stir the batter in one direction until it coats the spoon, indicating it's ready to use for making dosas.
