This is a Fabulous thin and crispy dosa made without rice. For many of us who are looking to avoid or reduce rice intake for various reasons, this is a great alternative. No fermentation required
Here’s a favorite that we like and is served on our table often.
Recipe
Ingredients
For this Dosa the ratio is 1:1:1:1
Organic White Quinoa
Urad dal
Channa Dal
Mung Dhal
Salt to taste
Water for grinding
oil or ghee to drizzle on the dosas
Steps:
Wash Dals and Quinoa 3 to 4 times and soak for few hours until properly soaked.
Grind and add the required amount of salt.
The batter must be not too thin or thick . There is no need to FERMENT and you can prepare Dosa right away, but for a change and a slightly fermented flavor I do ferment sometimes.
Heat a Non stick Pan (I have used my cast iron too, but they make smaller dosas, so I prefer my Circulon griddle and another one I have for this Dosa and for masala dosas) over medium to medium low heat .
When it is warm enough grease the Pan and make dosas.
Pour big spoonful of batter and spread in a circular motion .
Drizzle Oil or ghee over the edges of the dosa and Brown on both sides. (This turns out pretty well even without any oil or ghee.
Most of the time I just spread some oil or ghee on my griddle with a wet paper towel, literally like wiping the Tawa)
Serve it with your favorite chutney.
Notes:
This Dosa is nice and crispy and I also use this batter for masala dosa. When I do, I soak some Methi seeds along with the dhals and quinoa. equal proportions of dhals and quinoa.
There are many possibilities and combinations for this Dosa. I sometimes also add toor Dhal to the mix. At other times, I have added mung Dhal with skin, even whole mung.
Thanks for the feedback Amit!! So glad that you guys like it!! The dosas look perfect, Love the pics!
Love this dosa recipe! Goes directly from grind to griddle. I have made so many versions with this batter - podi dosa, kheema dosa, masala dosa, paper dosa. Even cheese, ketchup and peanut butter dosa for my toddler. This recipe is a keeper and a regular at our house. Thank you Veena aunty for this blog!
