Oats Dosa

This is another recipe of instant dosa that requires no soaking or fermentation and its very healthy too !

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Yields : 9 - 10 dosas

INGREDIENTS:
Rolled Oats - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1/2 cup
Rava or sooji - 1/2 cup
Curd - 1/2 cup
Salt-  as required
Pepper powder -1/2 teaspoon
Onion - finely chopped
Green chilli - 1 finely chopped
Ginger - 1/2 inch sized finely chopped
Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Water - 2.5  to 3 cups

METHOD:

1. Grind oats to a fine powder. I used normal rolled oats. Do not use any instant oats or flavoured oats. Use any normal oats which has a cooking time of 3 to 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, take the oats powder. Add rice flour, rava, salt, pepper powder, onion, green chilli, ginger, cumin seeds. Also add curd , salt and water. Mix the contents well. The batter should be in a flowing consistency and thin.

3. Now heat a pan. When it is hot, pour the batter from outside to inside. Do not try to spread the batter as you normally do for regular dosa.

4. Pour some oil and when it is cooked, flip to other side. This dosa takes longer time to cook. If you try to flip the dosa before it is cooked, the dosa would break. So wait for some 3 to 4 minutes and then flip the dosa to the other side and cook well.

5. Oats dosa is ready to serve. Serve with any of your favorite chutney or sambar.

NOTES:

1. For this dosa, it is better to use a non stick pan instead of iron , so the dosa wont stick to the pan.

2. This is an instant dosa. So make dosa immediately when you prepare the batter. If you allow the batter to rest, then dosa would turn very soft and difficult to make.

3. The ideal side dish for this dosa would be coconut or tomato chutney.

4. If you find dosa too soft, then add some more rice flour and rava. It will turn crispy.

Quinoa Lentil Dosa

This is one more version of dosa that can be made with Quinoa. On my last post, I used quinoa,oats and rice flour to make dosa. This time I want to avoid rice completely and instead I used three different types of lentils -  toor dal, urad dal and moong dal  along with Quinoa. This is protein rich dosa and very nutritious .

INGREDIENTS:

Quinoa - 1 cup
Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Moong dal - 1/2 cup
Salt - as required

METHOD:

1. Wash quinoa and dals separately for 4 to 5 times. Then soak them separately for 5 to 6 hours.

2. Now drain the water from dal and quinoa. Firstly, grind the dal to a smooth paste by adding required water and set aside. Similarly grind the quinoa also in to a smooth paste. Mix dal and quinoa paste and add required salt. The batter shouldn't be too thin. It should be little thicker than the dosa batter. No need to ferment this batter. You can make dosa out of it immediately.

3. Now heat the pan. Take some batter and spread it as thin as possible on the pan. Apply oil and cook on both sides. If you make it thinner, the dosa will turn very crispier and tasty. Serve with any chutney of your choice. Since this dosa has lentils, any side dish that is coconut based will also go well with this. Gives you a taste similar to adai aviyal :P. Or you can also serve with any tangy chutney like tomato  chutney !.
