Wheat Dosa

Another easy recipe for dosa is the wheat dosa. An easy alternative to the dosas prepared with rice or rava, this one was a staple in my home for dinner as dad used to like it very much.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour – 1/2 cup

Rice flour – 2 tbsp

Jeera – 1/4 tsp

Coriander leaves chopped – 1 tbsp

Curry leaves chopped – 1 tsp

Onion – 1 small chopped

Green chillies – 1 chopped

Jeera/Cumin seeds – 1/4 tsp

Salt as required

Oil for cooking – 3 to 4 tsp

Water – 1/2 cup

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, add the wheat flour, rice flour, jeera, cuury leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and mix well with a whisk. Add chopped onion, salt and water and mix well to combine. The batter should not be too thick or runny and should be lump free.

Heat a griddle/tava. Grease the tava and pour a ladle from the outer edges to form a circle, towards the inner parts. Cover the middle portions with more batter. Reduce the flame to medium flame and drizzle a few drops of oil all over the dosa. After 2 – 3 minutes, when it turns golden in colour, flip to the other side and cook.

Remove from fire and serve with any chutney that you like or sambar.

Note: Pour a thin layer of the batter to make crispy dosas.Iron or cast iron griddle works best for this dosa.

If the dosa sticks to the griddle or tawa, reduce the flame to low, sprinkle some water to bring down the temperature. Drizzle a few drops of oil and rub the griddle with half an onion all over.

Every time you pour a dosa, drizzle a few drops of water on the hot griddle to bring down the temperature and smear it with little oil.
