    Surnali/ Surnoli is a unique name for the sweet dosa. This is a famous dosa in GSB community and prepared mostly for breakfast. This dosa is prepared using Dosa rice, methi seeds, flattened rice/puffed rice, coconut, curds, jaggery and fresh turmeric for color.       Good Fermentation results in soft and porous dosas. The batter should be fermented atleast for 8-10 hrs. Some add baking soda or eno for fluffiness. But I don't add. I like to keep it natural.     Some soak rice and methi in buttermilk, some grind the soaked rice and other ingredients to smooth paste, add 1 cup of milk and add 2 tbsp of curd and allow it to ferment(to avoid sourness).          My version of Surnali recipe is different, yet you get the soft and fluffiest dosas. Do follow all the steps properly. Lets get started.
