Tamil Nadu dosa variant — wheat dosa made with whole wheat dosa.
Ingredients
- - 2 cups dosa batter
- - Oil or ghee for frying
- - Filling ingredients as required
- - Coconut chutney to serve
- - Sambar to serve
Method
- Prepare wheat dosa batter: Mix 2 cups whole wheat flour with 1 tsp cumin seeds, half tsp red chilli powder, 1 tbsp finely chopped onion, 1 tbsp fresh coriander and salt.
- Add water and yogurt: Add half cup yogurt and water to make a thin smooth batter — slightly thinner than regular dosa batter. Rest 15 minutes.
- Heat tawa: Heat a flat tawa on medium-high heat.
- Oil the tawa: Drizzle half tsp oil and spread evenly.
- Pour batter: Pour a ladleful of batter and spread quickly in a circular motion into a thin round.
- Add oil: Drizzle half tsp oil around the edges.
- Cook first side: Cook on medium heat 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear and the base is golden.
- Flip: Turn the dosa using a flat spatula.
- Cook second side: Cook 1-2 minutes until second side is also golden.
- Serve: Wheat dosa is a healthier alternative to rice dosa with a nutty flavour. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar.
