Wheat dosa is a healthy and nutritious Indian pancake made with whole wheat flour. It is a popular breakfast option and is easy to prepare. Here’s a recipe for Wheat Dosa:
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ready in: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 2 tablespoons semolina (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rice flour, semolina (if using), chopped onions, coriander leaves, green chili (if using), cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture while whisking continuously to make a smooth and slightly thin batter. The consistency should be similar to that of dosa batter.
- Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a little oil or ghee and spread it evenly.
- Pour a ladleful of the wheat dosa batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and on top.
- Cook the dosa on medium heat until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp. Flip it over and cook the other side until it is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Remove the cooked wheat dosa from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more dosas, adding oil or ghee as needed.
- Serve the Wheat Dosas hot with chutney, sambar, or any preferred accompaniment.
Wheat dosas are a healthier alternative to regular dosas as they are made with whole wheat flour. They are light, crispy, and delicious. They can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a light meal. The addition of onions, coriander leaves, and spices adds flavor and enhances the taste of the dosas.
