## Ingredients List
To make the perfect **Ghee Dosa**, you will need the following ingredients:

### For the Dosa Batter:
– 1 cup white rice
– 1/3 cup split urad dal (black gram)
– 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
– 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
– Water (as needed for soaking and grinding)

### For Cooking:
– Ghee (clarified butter), for frying
– Additional salt (for taste, if needed)

## Instructions/Steps
1. **Soak the Ingredients**: Start by soaking the white rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in plenty of water for about 4-6 hours or overnight.

2. **Grind the Batter**: Drain the soaked ingredients and transfer them to a blender. Add a little water as needed, and blend until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Transfer to a bowl and let it ferment for 8-10 hours, or until it doubles in size and has a slightly sour aroma.

3. **Prepare for Cooking**: Once the batter is fermented, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Heat a non-stick pan or iron griddle over medium heat.

4. **Make the Dosa**: Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer. Drizzle ghee around the edges of the dosa.

5. **Cook Until Golden**: Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. If desired, flip it over to cook for an additional minute or two.

6. **Serve**: Remove the **Ghee Dosa** from the pan and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite side dish.

## Cooking Time
– **Preparation Time**: 4-6 hours (for soaking) + 8-10 hours (for fermentation)
– **Cooking Time**: 15 minutes per dosa
– **Total Time**: Approximately 12 hours (this includes soaking and fermentation time)

## Serving Size
This recipe yields around 6-8 dosas, depending on the size you make.

## Tips and Variations
– For a spicier version of **Ghee Dosa**, you can add finely chopped green chilies or grated ginger to the batter before cooking.
– Try substituting part of the white rice with brown rice for a healthier twist.
– Serve your **Ghee Dosa** with a variety of chutneys and sambar for a complete meal experience.
– Experiment with toppings: add chopped onions, tomatoes, or even grated vegetables before folding the dosa for a delicious variation.
