How to Make Pan Seared Tuna (Stepwise Photos)

Method

1. Preheat 10-12 inch circumference stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
2. While pan is heating, rub each tuna steak with 1 tbsp lemon juice, season with little salt, white pepper powder, ginger and scallion.
3. Place tuna steaks in the heated skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, and then remove from skillet. Seared tuna is best when medium rare. This is our stovetop searing cooking method. Place them on a serving plate.

Thank you for the amazing instructions.

I have success w/ my dosa but does not last long stored in the refrigerator.

Maybe I am fermenting for too long, or add the salt before the rise?

I also was wondering if it is important to blend separately or can it be blended all together?

Hi Chaitrali,
Yes, cut down the fermentation time and add salt only to the required portion at the time of making the dosa. Also storing in smaller containers just enough for a day helps. Once the batter in a larger container is disturbed (by stirring or scooping out a little etc), I feel it turns sour faster. You can blend them together if you want. But we do it separately because we want the dal batter to become fluffy and the rice batter slightly coarse. Fluffy dal batter makes the dosas light and coarse rice batter makes them extra crispy without making the dosas hard. Hope this helps
