Multi grain Crepes ( Dosas)


Here is a very helathy dosa. I actually got inspired from Usha to make these . Of late i have heard a lot and read a lot about the goodness of the grain Quinoa but never tried it. The moment i read Usha post of Quinao flax Uttapam i also decided it is time to try it. You can read about it here : Veg Inspirations. Here is my sligtly modified  version of the dosa :


Ingredients:
Brown Long Grain Rice -- 1 cup
Quinoa grain -- 1/2 cup
Buckwheat groats -- 1/2 cup
Rolled Oats -- 1/2 cup
Urad Dhal -- 1/4 cup
Beaten Rice /Phoa -- 1/4 cup
Green chillies -- 4 (or according to spice level)
Salt -- to taste
Oil -- for making dosas


Method :
  • Rinse and soak all the above ingredients other than salt and oil for 5 to 6 hours.
  • Grind with green chillies to a thick batter consistency.
  • Add salt.
  • Allow to ferment overnight at a warm place.
  • Once the fermentation is over you could make dosas immediately or mix well and refrigerate.
To make dosas :
  • Heat a griddle or  a dosa pan.
  • Take a laddle full of batter.
  • Pour it at the center and spread it out making a circle.
  • Pour a tsp of oil around the circumference of the dosa.
  • Wait for a minute and flip over and cook the other side.
  • Remove when it is light golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve hot with any kind of chutney or sambar.
The results were so good and the dosa was simply crispy and tasty. Even my little picky eater , without saying no ate it :) ..
