My friend, S regularly brought this dosa (along with shallots rice & beets greens thoran) for me after Gudiya was born. With a heaping amount of fenugreek seeds, this dosa is considered good for the new mothers. S is just 4 years older to me but she took that role very seriously and cared for me like a big sister that I never had. May God bless her. Now, S has moved back to India. I learnt most of my Kerala recipes from her.If anyone knows the name of this dosa, please let me know.
Methi & Rice Dosa
Rice-Fenugreek Seeds DosaIngredients
1 cup brown rice
1 tbsp methi seeds
salt to taste
oil for shallow frying
Method
1. Soak rice and methi/fenugreek seeds in water for 6-8 hours.
2. Grind to a smooth paste adding enough water.
3. Add salt and make the batter of pancake or dosa batter consistency.
4. Heat the pan and spread thin dosa. Use oil as needed.
Note -
1. This dosa needs to be soft and thin.
2. Regular white rice can also be used.
3. 1 tablespoon of methi seeds make this dosa flavored with the characteristic bitter flavor. If you do not like it too bitter, reduce the amount of fenugreek seeds.

Nice recipe..
Lovely recipe and unique never heard one this before. Brown rice, fenugrek seeds and no urad dal thats definitely a intersting combination. Love to make this one day.
This is new to me, Meera.My mil's mom fed me wt 'uluva' (methi) dosas wt methi soaked and ground wt normal dosa batter after my deliveries 4 a healthy strong back! Tks 4 sharing!
This is my hubby's fav. Look so good and crispy. YUM!
Healthy stuff !! Nice one .. I think the good part is I dont have to wait for the dosa batter to rise right or do I? I was just thinking the other day as i had moong and methi sprouts which i made .. how they would taste if ground and put in the batter. Should try for my 3 yr old. Thanks
This is new..i havent used methi seeds in dosa....luv the idea...
Have never had this dosa before. But methi seeds are supposed to make a dosa/idli really soft isn't it ??
Looks airy and soft..Love dosa!

As I said, it has that unique methi flavor. I love it. but it may be an acquired taste.
Purnima:
Gosh, I have heard so much good things about methi from mom and mom-in-law!! As if all the methiwala spicy things were not enough, they made me eat methi laddoo and methi paak!!!:-D

No fermenting is necessary for this dosa. Hope, your little one loves it.
Sangeeth:
Do try it if you like that bitterish flavor.
Maya:
I knew methi seeds are added to usual dosa/idlis but didn't know that they result in soft idlis. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you after a long time. Check your email!
Divya Vikram:
Thank you.
Madhavi:
Thanks so much.
