Wheat dosa, when prepared with whole wheat flour instead of rice flour, is a healthier adaptation of the classic South Indian dosa. The fibre and nutrient-rich dosa ensures the same crispy texture and savoury flavour but provides wholesomeness without the rice. The recipe for making wheat dosa follows a quick and easy process with minimum ingredients. The wheat dosa batter spreads thinly on a hot grill or tawa for crispy golden dosa. The result is a light and crispy wheat dosa. Wheat dosa can be relished in many ways. It's traditionally served with chutneys, sambar, or a dollop of ghee. Sometimes, filling it with vegetables, paneer, or spicy potato turns it into a substantial dish. The versatility of this wheat dosa recipe makes it very apt for those who would like to include more whole grains in their diets without compromising on taste. This wholesome alternative is perfect for those needing a quick, nutritious meal rush to catch the morning bus or weeknight dinner. Let's explore the wheat dosa recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • Salt
  • 1 pinch cumin seeds
  • 5-6 curry leaves
  • 1-2 green chillies
  • 1/4 tsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp onion
  • 1 tsp curd

Instructions

  • To make the basic batter for this recipe of wheat dosa, you'll need 1/2 cup wheat flour (atta, approximately eight tablespoons) and ¼ cup rice flour (4 tablespoons).
  • Add ¼ teaspoon salt to this mixture; however, the amount of salt may be adjusted according to individual taste preferences.
  • Mix both wheat flour and rice flour with salt in a big bowl. Finally, to give some flavour to the batter, add one pinch of cumin seeds(jeera seeds).
  • Also, chop 5 to 6 curry leaves finely and mix them into the flour mixture.
  • That gives a fragrant, citrusy, light touch to the mixture.
  • Add a couple of green chillies to the batter, finely chopped.
  • Add 1 ¼ cup water little by little to the dry flour mixture while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • It should have a pouring consistency, such as pancake or crepe batter.
  • The water can be increased if the mixture seems too thick, depending on the type of wheat flour used.
  • It ought to spread well on the grill but hold shape when cooked. As soon as the batter is ready, heat a non-stick skillet or a flat cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  • When that pan is hot, add two tablespoons of ghee or oil to the pan.
  • Ghee gives the dosa a rich flavour, but you can use vegetable oil or coconut oil if you prefer.
  • Spread the ghee or oil with a spatula, and let's prepare the dosa.
  • Drop one ladle full of the batter in the centre of the hot skillet.
  • Spread the batter using the back of your ladle.
  • Make sure it spreads out thin enough to crisp up well.
  • Once the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden brown, flip the wheat dosa over using a spatula and cook for another minute or two until both sides of the dosa are crispy and golden brown.
  • You can serve the wheat dosa hot with your favourite chutney, sambar, or even a dollop of yoghurt. This wheat dosa recipe combines the goodness of wheat and rice flour, creating a crispy and flavourful alternative to traditional dosas.
