Wheat Flour Dosa

Posted August 29, 2012 By Maria John

In southern part of India, you can easily relish on dosas, as these are common breadfast or snack dishes that are served in most of the street corners, restaurants and sweet homes. There are numerous kinds of dosas that can be put up on menu at different places (according to geographical locations).

Presently I am residing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat – the north western part of India. What I have observed here in Ahmedabad is that the local residents long for snack items. For my amazement I also noticed that Amdavadi’s chose to have snacks for their dinner.

Wheat Flour Dosa

In my vicinity here, I have come across many eateries where the evening joints are filled with varieties of dosas, ‘wide range varieties of dosas’ Wow! Can you imagine around 30 varieties of dosas on the menu? It just makes it difficult for you to choose among the list. However, there is large difference the way it is made and also differs in taste.

Recently, I had visited my hometown, Bengaluru for about 3 weeks with my 5 month old son – ‘Sam’. It was a pleasant time being back with your family and friends, good old friends. I really cherished the time spent at my home.

One of the day at breakfast I was served with dosas that were looking quite different to that I have come across till date. The texture, color and aroma completely differed from what I have had earlier. This definitely differed to better from good, no doubt about it. I could not wait any longer and pinched a piece of the dosa and grappled it down my taste buds. This dosa that seemed delicious was made out of wheat. A wheat dosa, for the first time in life and I still linger how it had tasted. Just Awesome!

Today I am back at my residence at Ahmedabad and bring you the recipe straight from my Mom’s kitchen. The Wheat Flour Dosa! I am sure this will leave your taste buds longing for it, for some more.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 Cup Wheat Flour
  2. 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves
  3. 2 Finely Chopped Green Chilli
  4. Oil
  5. Water
  6. Salt to Taste

How to Prepare:

  1. In mixing bowl, add wheat flour and salt. Add water little by little and mix slowing without forming lumps.
  2. This mix should be little thinner than the dosa batter consistency.
  3. Now, add coriander leaves, green chilli and mix well.

Instant Rava Dosa

Posted December 14, 2011 By Maria John

Rava Dosa

Rava upma must be very common in every house as breakfast. Now, you also try this instant rava dosa at home which doesn’t need overnight fermentation. Dosa is a favourite breakfast in many of our houses. So here’s my version of Instant Rava Dosa.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Rava, 1/2 Cup Maida, 1/2 Cup Rice Powder, 3 tbsp Curd(beaten), Salt to Taste

For Seasoning:

1 tbsp Oil, 2 Green Chillies, 1 tsp Mustard Seeds, 1 Onion, 1 tsp Cumin Seeds, 1 tsp Ginger(chopped)

Instant Rava Dosa

How to Prepare:

In a pan, heat oil and splutter mustard seeds & Cumin Seeds. Add the finely chopped onions, chopped ginger, green chillies and fry for a minute. Now, add rava in the same pan and roast for 3 minutes. Keep stirring so that rava does not stick to the pan.

Transfer this mixture into a mixing bowl. While the roasted rava is warm add maida, rice powder and mix well. After mixing allow the mixture cool down for some time. Add salt, curd and water and mix it to a little thinner consistency than the dosa batter. Rest this dosa batter for 15-20 minutes.

Heat a dosa pan and grease with oil. Pour 1/2 cup of batter in the pan and spread it. Don’t worry about the shape. Sprinkle little oil & allow it to cook & flip it over. When both sides become golden brown, remove from pan. Serve hot with coconut chutney or dry red chilli chutney.

Idly & Tomato Chutney

Posted December 4, 2011 By Maria John

Idly, a very simplest and healthiest South Indian breakfast. The recipe that I have shared is made with idly rava. Idly can be made even with idly rice. It tastes good with chutney or sambar.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Idly Rava, 1 Cup Urad Dal, Soda, Salt to Taste

How to prepare:

Clean and wash idly rava. Soak idly rava and urad dal in separate containers for about 4-5 hours. Grind the soaked urad dhal with little water to smooth paste. Now, mix idly rava, ground urad dal and soda together. Keep it aside for 8 hours or overnight for fermentation. Add salt and little water if required to the batter.

Grease the idly moulds with little oil. Pour the idly mix in the moulds and steam for about 10 minutes. To check if the idlys are done put a tooth pick into the idly. If the idlys are cooked, the tooth pick will be clean. Serve idly with sambar, coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
