  • 1  fresh coconut, grated / 2 cup grated fresh coconut
  • 1 cup jaggery powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • Ghee / oil as required

Method
  1. Wash and soak the raw rice and fenugreek seeds together for 5-6 hrs.

  3. Drain the excess water from rice and poha.
  4. Combine together the rice, poha, coconut, jaggery and turmeric powder. Mix well.
  5. Put this mixture in a mixer jar and add half the portion of curd and grind it to a smooth paste.
  6. Grind the batter in 2-3 batches.
  7. If the batter is too thick to grind, then add little bit of water to it. Don't pour too much water, just add 2-3 tb sp of water.
  8. Transfer the batter to a large vessel.  Keep This vessel aside for 8 to 10 hours. Allow the batter to ferment well. Depending upon the atmosphere sometimes it may take more time to ferment. 
  9. After fermentation, the batter becomes almost double in quantity.
  10. Then, add salt  and whip the batter well. It makes the batter light. Add little bit of water if required. Make a medium thick batter of pouring consistency. It should be like uttappa batter.
  11. Heat a  flat non-stick pan on a low flame. Pour 1/4 tsp of ghee / oil on it. Rub the ghee / oil with a slice of potato. Pour 2 ladleful of  batter over the hot pan.
  12. Slightly pat the batter with the back of a  ladle and make a medium thick dosa. Do not spread it too thin.
  13. Sprinkle some ghee / oil over it. Pour some ghee from all sides. Cover with lid  and allow it to cook on a medium low flame till the surnoli becomes light golden brown colour from the bottom. 
  14. When its done, flip it and cook from the other side till light golden brown in colour.  Remove from the pan. Serve hot with ghee. Goes well with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
