A nutritious lip smacking dosa recipe with oats which is healthy and guilt free too. Very crispy and tasty, this one is a must try. Makes 15 dosas.
Ingredients:
Oats – 1 cup
Idli rice – 2 cups
Udad dal – 1/2 cup
Chana dal/bengal gram dal – 2 tbsp
Fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp
Sugar – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Water for grinding
Oil for preparing dosas
Preparation:
Take a wide bowl. Wash and soak the idli rice, udad dal, fenugreek seeds and bengal gram dals together for 3-4 hours.
Then grind the soaked ingredients adding oats to it little by little. (You need not soak the oats). Do not add too much water to grind.
Once the batter is ground fine, add salt and sugar and ferment it for 8 hrs. Place the batter in a fairly big vessel as the batter will double up in size when it ferments.
When the batter rises, beat it well and now you are ready to start preparing the dosas.
Take a griddle and heat it. When it becomes hot, grease it with oil and take a ladle full of batter and pour it. Starting from the center, spread the batter in circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a tsp of oil all around the sides of the dosa and when it becomes golden in colour, flip it and cook for a minute. Turn it again and take it off the pan.
Before you pour the next dosa, sprinkle the griddle with little water and then grease it again and pour the dosa. This step must be done before every dosa is poured onto it.
Serve it with sambar or chutney of your choice.
Note: The bengal gram dal and sugar enhances the golden colour of your dosas.
