Dosa or pancakes are shallow fried South Indian breakfast which are very popular worldwide. They are nutritious and wholesome. It is prepared from fermented rice-lentil mix. So give it a healthy twist by substituting white rice with fibre rich brown rice. Let me assure you there is absolutely no difference in the look, taste or flavour. It is just like any regular dosa.
They can be enjoyed anytime of the day along with coconut chutney, sambar and potato curry for a great comfort meal. They can also be packed for a lunch box meal too. You can either serve dosa stuffed with the potato curry or as a side dish. Choice is yours.
- 3/4 cup brown rice
- 1/3 cup split black gram (Urad dal)
- 1/4 tsp. fenugreek seeds
- 1/3 cup cooked rice
- salt to taste
- oil to shallow fry
Soak the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds overnight or for a minimum of 8 hours.
Blend the rice, urad dal, fenugreek seeds and the cooked rice to a smooth paste with required quantity of water. Transfer to a large bowl.
Ferment overnight. Next morning add salt to taste and mix well.
Heat a tawa / griddle and brush with some oil. Sprinkle some water and after it sizzles off, pour a ladleful of the batter. Spread out into a circular motion with the back of the ladle.
Drizzle some oil over and around the edges. Cook till it is golden brown on one side.
Flip it over and cook the other side too till done. Serve them hot with with chutney, sambar and potato curry.
