Instant Wheat Dosa


While dosa, the  South Indian crepe is a staple breakfast item in every household, this wheat dosa has slowly got its place .Yes,This dosa is a saviour as it requires no soaking, no grinding and especially no fermentation. While your griddle / tawa is getting heated up, you can mix the batter.



I make this, whenever I'm from a trip and I don't have the dosa batter ready. Some of you might think about it's taste.Trust me.This tastes equally good. This also comes thin and crispy with the use of rice flour.



You could add some butter to make it more tastier, if making for kids.You can also add chopped onions, or grated vegetables to make it more filling.



Ingredients


Whole wheat flour ............................1 cup
Rice flour ......................................... 1/4 cup
Oil .................................................... 1 tbsp + extra
Salt ................................................. to taste



Method


  1. Heat your griddle over medium heat. ( see notes)
  2. In a wide bowl , take the flour mixture and add salt . 
  3. Add 1 tbsp oil and rub thoroughly.
  4. Now add water slowly and whisk well to make a lump free batter.
  5. The consistency should be similar to regular dosa batter.
  6. Check the griddle by sprinkling some water,it should sear well.
  7. Now add a ladlefull batter in the middle and make circular move from center to the edges quickly .
  8. Add some oil along the edges.
  9. Wait for a minute to cook and flip the dosa .Cook the other side.

Enjoy hot with any chutney of your choice.

Note

  • The oil used in the batter gives crispiness to the dosa.
  • Top it up with finely chopped onion, if you wish.
  • Since I use a cast iron tawa , I heat it in the very beginning as it takes about 5 to 7 minutes to get ready.
  • If you use non stick  tawa,adjust your timing accordingly by heating it for a lesser time.
