Paper dosa is a traditional pancake originating from Tamil Nadu. These wafer-thin crispy pancakes are usually made with a combination of basmati rice, urad dal (black grams), fenugreek seeds, ghee, and salt. The rice is processed into a thick paste and soaked in water. The urad dal is also soaked in water, and both are left to soak overnight. The next day, urad dal is drained, mixed with fenugreek, and processed into a paste. The two pastes are mixed together, left to stand overnight, and seasoned with salt. The batter is then fried in a skillet over medium heat until dry, and some ghee is spread in the center and on the sides. The dosa is cooked until golden brown and crisp. It's rolled up and served hot with sambar and coconut chutney.
