Masala Thosei - 11th Day Iftar

Indian menu for our 11th day iftar.. didn't make the full set of thosei dipping cause I just preferred the thosei masala and the sambar thosei...kenyang woh, just ate 1 thosei already felt the tightness in my tummy + the few cups of coffee that I drank...

I didnt make the thosei using the below method, cause I already bought the ready mix thosei flour... those who are overseas and cant get this flour, can use the method below to make thosei OK...Happy Thosei..ing ...

Ingredients For Thosei:-
11/2 cup uncooked rice (washed, and soaked with water for 5-6 hours)

11/2 cup water
2 tbsp cold rice (soaked together with the uncooked rice)
or 2 tbsp yogurt
