Wheat Flour Dosa

Step 1: Prepare the Batter Base

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of wheat flour, 1/4 cup of yogurt, and salt to taste. Gradually add 1 cup of water while whisking to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 2: Rest the Batter

Let the prepared batter rest for 2 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Spices

To the rested batter, add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped tomato, 1 chopped green chilli, 1 inch of grated ginger, fresh coriander leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin seeds.

Step 4: Mix Ingredients

Mix all the added vegetables and spices thoroughly into the batter until well combined.

Step 5: Heat Pan and Pour Batter

Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of oil onto the pan. Pour two ladles of the prepared batter onto the hot pan and gently spread it in a circular motion to form a dosa.

Step 6: Cook the Dosa

Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the top looks cooked. Flip the dosa and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Serve

Once cooked, remove the dosa from the pan. Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Serve hot with coconut chutney or chili chutney.

• Adjust the amount of water to achieve a smooth, pourable batter consistency.

• Ensure the pan is hot before pouring the batter to get crispy dosas.

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

• For a spicier version, increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of red chili powder.

• To make it vegan, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative or skip it and adjust water accordingly.
