Perfect for breakfast or as a snack, these dosas are not only gluten-free but also packed with wholesome ingredients. Serve them hot with coconut chutney or spicy sambar for an authentic experience.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Quinoa
1/2 cup
Rice
1 cup
Urad dal
1/4 cup
Fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Water
as needed for soaking and grinding
Oil
for cooking dosas

Instructions

  1. Soak the quinoa, rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 8 hours or overnight to soften and hydrate them.
  2. Drain the soaked mixture and transfer it to a blender. Add enough water to grind the mixture into a smooth, flowing batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
  3. Add salt to the batter and mix well. Allow it to ferment in a warm place for 8 hours or overnight. Fermentation enhances the flavor and texture of the dosa.
  4. Once fermented, stir the batter gently. Heat a dosa pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.
  5. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer.
  6. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until crispy.
  8. Remove the dosa from the pan and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
