Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Curd (Yogurt)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 0.25 cup of rice flour, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of curd (yogurt) and 1.5 cups of water to the bowl. Whisk the ingredients together to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should have a pouring consistency similar to pancake batter.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the batter and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a few drops of oil using a brush or paper towel.
Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter outwards in circular motions to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook the dosa for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and it turns golden brown.
Use a spatula to flip the dosa and cook the other side for another minute until it’s cooked through.
Remove the dosa from the pan and serve immediately. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve wheat dosas hot with chutney or sambar of your choice.
