Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp rice flour
- A dance of finely chopped onions, green chilies, and ginger
- 1 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- Water, as needed
- 1 tsp oil or ghee
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rice flour, chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and salt.
- Add Water:
- Gradually add water while stirring continuously to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to that of a regular dosa batter, slightly thicker than crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat the Tawa:
- Heat a dosa tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If it sizzles and evaporates immediately, the tawa is ready.
- Make the Dosas:
- Stir the batter well. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa.
- Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Start from the center and work your way outwards.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and a few drops on top.
- Cook the Dosa:
- Cook the dosa on medium heat until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp. The edges will start to lift slightly when it’s ready to flip.
- Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook for another minute or until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve Hot:
- Once both sides are cooked to your liking, transfer the dosa to a plate.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
