Whole Wheat Dosa Recipe

Dosa is a kind of breakfast which is normally found all over South India.  There are different varieties of Dosa like Set Dosa, Masala Dosa, Wheat Dosa, Maida Dosa, Cucumber Dosa etc..   If you are looking for a easy, quick, simple, healthy and low calorie breakfast item then Wheat Dosa is the best one.  Wheat Dosa is a perfect recipe as a diabetic friendly recipe too. 


No grinding, no need for soaking, no resting time, you just need to mix the flour with water and add some chopped onions, cilantro, ginger and throw a little cumin and pepper to prepare the batter for Wheat Dosa.   Let us see how to prepare the whole wheat dosa which is a popular breakfast item of Karnataka.

Ingredients
  1. Whole Wheat Flour / Atta     2 cups
  2. Cumin seeds   1/2 tsp
  3. Pepper, coarsely grind    1/4 tsp (optional)
  4. Onion    2-3 tbsp (finely chopped, i used 5 pearl onions chopped)
  5. Cilantro     2 tbsp (finely chopped)
  6. Ginger    1 tsp (finely chopped)
  7. Salt     to taste
  8. Oil    to toast dosa.

Method of preparation of Wheat Dosa

  • In a bowl take flour and salt mix well and using water make it to a medium thick like dosa batter. 
  • Then to the batter add cumin seeds, pepper, finely chopped onions, ginger, cilantro and stir well.
  • Adjust batter consistency, if its thick add couple of tbsp of water.
  • Now the batter ready to make dosa.
  •  Heat a griddle, when its get heated pour a ladle full of batter to it and spread it in a circular motion to a thin crepes. 
  • Drizzle oil around and cook it in medium high heat for 2 minutes then flip other side and cooked for another 1-2 minutes or until crisp on the edges.
  • Once done remove from the griddle and serve hot with chutney/sambar.

Notes:
To the same batter you can also add 1/4 cup rice flour, 2 tbsp rava for a crispy & thin dosa. If adding rice & rava make batter little thin than the regular dosa batter.  


For a more healthier option, add 1/2 cup ragi flour(millet flour) to the above ingredients and make wheat-ragi dosa. I sometimes make it that way.
 

If you like you can also add finely chopped green chillies instead of pepper.
