Question

How do you make the dosa, (dosai) that is soft and sour (which I believe is the best) ?

Answer 1

The sourness comes by keeping the Idli/dosa dough overnight.

It slightly ferments giving the delicious sourish taste. Keep for one more day, and you can make the tastiest Tomato Uttapams.

The softness comes by adding coconut milk to the dough.If you cannot get it, try mixing white butter.

Answer 4

Well, what Ms. Know It All has said appears to be too much of a trouble to prepare the raw dough for Dosa, chutney and sambhar, there are ready mixes available from most of the superstores, Big Bazaars etc. selling South Indian stuff.

In case you wish to have branded ready mixes for the dishes, MTR is a very popular national brand. Besides, Gits and Everest are other a few national brands for the said ready mixes.
