## Ingredients List
– **1 cup** rice (preferably parboiled)
– **1/2 cup** split urad dal (black gram)
– **1/4 tsp** fenugreek seeds
– **1 large** onion, finely chopped
– **2-3** green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
– **1/2 tsp** cumin seeds
– **Salt**, to taste
– **Water**, as needed for grinding batter
– **Oil or ghee**, for cooking the dosa

## Instructions/Steps
1. **Soak the Ingredients**: Rinse the rice and urad dal thoroughly in water. In a bowl, soak them together with fenugreek seeds for at least **4-6 hours** or overnight.

2. **Make the Batter**: After soaking, drain the water and blend the rice and urad dal mixture in a blender with a little water until you reach a smooth, pouring consistency. You want the batter to be thick but pourable. Add salt to taste.

3. **Ferment the Batter**: Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment in a warm place for about **8-12 hours** (overnight is best).

4. **Prepare the Onion Mixture**: Once fermented, gently stir the batter. In a bowl, mix in the chopped onions, green chilies, and cumin seeds.

5. **Cook the Dosa**: Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or ghee. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.

6. **Cook Until Golden**: Allow the dosa to cook for about **2-3 minutes** or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another minute if desired.

7. **Serve Your Onion Dosa**: Once cooked, remove the dosa from the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.

## Cooking Time
– **Preparation Time**: 30 minutes (excluding soaking and fermenting)
– **Cooking Time**: 2-3 minutes per dosa
– **Total Time**: Approximately 12 hours (including soaking and fermenting)

## Serving Size
This Onion Dosa recipe serves about **4-6 people** (depending on the size of each dosa).

## Tips and Variations
– **Add Vegetables**: Feel free to add finely chopped bell peppers, carrots, or spinach to the batter for extra nutrition.
– **Spice Variations**: Adjust the number of green chilies based on your spice preference. Experiment with adding spices like turmeric for color or black pepper for more heat.
– **Serving Options**: Serve the dosa with various chutneys like peanut, tomato, or mint, and a steaming bowl of sambar to enhance the experience.
