Step 1: Prepare the tempering

Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp chana dal, and a few sprigs of curry leaves. Sauté until the seeds splutter and the chana dal turns light golden.

Step 2: Sauté onions and chilies

Add 1/4 cup chopped onion and 2 chopped green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

Step 3: Add ginger paste

Add 1/8 tsp turmeric powder and 1/4 tsp ginger paste to the mixture. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the raw smell of ginger disappears.

Step 4: Cook tomatoes

Add 1/4 cup chopped tomato to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly.

Step 5: Prepare the flour mixture

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup (100g) wheat flour, salt as per taste, and 1 tbsp rice flour. Mix well.

Step 6: Make the batter

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously, until a smooth, lump-free batter of pouring consistency is formed.

Step 7: Combine vegetables and batter

Add the prepared vegetable mixture from the pan into the batter. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 8: Add fresh coriander

Stir in a handful of chopped coriander leaves into the batter.

Step 9: Prepare the pan for cooking

Grease a non-stick pan or tawa with a little oil and keep the heat on medium.

Step 10: Pour the dosa

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan and gently spread it into a round shape.

Step 11: Add oil and cook

Drizzle about 1/4 tsp of oil around the edges of the dosa.

Step 12: Cook both sides

Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and golden.

Step 13: Serve

Serve the hot and healthy wheat dosa as is, or with your preferred chutney or sauce.

• Ensure the pan is on medium heat for even cooking of the dosas.

• Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.

• You can add other finely chopped vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for more nutrition and flavor.

• Replace wheat flour with a mix of multi-grain flours for added health benefits.

• Serve with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup.
