In an attempt to keep breakfast as the most nutritious meal of the day, I tried my hand in creating Oat and Millet Dosas. I have never had this dosa elsewhere nor had I read any recipes anywhere. I just got creative and created it from scratch as Anup does not have cereals with milk for breakfast these days. Of course I made the batter the night before. Served with Dosa-Idli chutney powder, this makes for a very tasty start to the day.
I started out small. This recipe makes for 8-10 medium sized dosas.
You need:
The make
Makes 8-10 medium sized dosa | Preparation Time: 8 hrs | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Tip:For the Oat powder, you can either dry grind the oat flakes in an electric grinder or use oat flour off the shelf.
1. Combine the flours in a large bowl.
2. Add the water 1/2 a cup a time and mix the flour well.
3. Continue till dosa-like consistency is reached. It should run in a thick (not watery) stream when using a ladle to pour it back into the same bowl.
4. Cover and keep in a warm, dry place overnight. Remember the bowl has to be large enough to allow the batter to rise.
5. The next morning, add the salt and stir well and set aside for 10 minutes.
6. Heat a iron skillet/dosa pan or any flat skillet on high. Take the cooking oil in a small bowl. Dip a cut quarter of an onion or a rolled thick kitchen paper towel into the cooking oil and dab the skillet with the oil.
7. Using a round ladle, take the batter and pour in the center of the skillet and then using the bottom of the ladle in a clockwise fashion, spread the batter to the desired thickness and size.
8. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow to cook on each side for 2 minutes or until light brown.
9. Continue till the batter is used up. Serve with Dosa-Idli powder or desired condiment. This dosa would go well with coconut chutney or pudina (mint) chutney.
Bon Appetit!
