As with any South Indian family we too love our share of idly and dosa.Since the idli/dosa batter takes longer to grind and ferment,I prefer flour based dosas as they can be whipped up in a jiffy.
One such day when we were 'craving' for dosa,I found that the pantry shelf had jars with around 1/4 cup of flour in each jar!So what did I do?Put them all together and made this dosa!Very simple!!
I used:
Buckwheat flour-1/4 cup
Whole wheat flour-1/2 a cup
Maida -1/4 cup
Rice flour -less than 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
- In a large bowl put in all the flours and salt and mix well.
- Add water little by little to make a smooth batter of flowing consistency.
- Heat a griddle and pour a ladleful of batter and spread lightly.
- Cover and cook.Drizzle oil if required.
- When the edges leave the sides of the griddle,flip over and cook till light brown.
Serve hot.
Note:
You can change the flour ratio to your choice.We liked ours thick and soft.
We had this with tomato sesame chutney.Since I had no time to click a separate pic ,here is the recipe for that in the same post.
Though this chutney looks like tomato onion chutney,it has a nutty flavor from the sesame seeds.
I used:
Ripe tomatoes- 3,large, chopped
Roasted sesame seeds[white]-2 tablespoons
Green chillies-2
Urad dhal-1 tablespoon
Red chillies-2
Tamarind paste-1 teaspoon
Mustard-1/2 a teaspoon
Cumin seeds-1/2 a teaspoon
Curry leaves-a few
Oil-1 teaspoons
- Heat oil in a pan and put in urad dhal and red chillies and fry till dhal turns brown.Remove the dhal and red chillies and keep aside.
- In the remaining oil saute green chillies for a minute and keep aside.
- In the same pan put in tomatoes and cook till soft and water almost evaporates.It will take around 10 minutes on medium flame..Turn off heat.
- Grind together dhal,redchilli,sesame seeds till they become a coarse powder
- Put in tomato,tamarind extract,green chilli ,salt and blend to a smooth paste adding a little water.
- Remove to a serving vessel.
- Heat a little oil in a small pan and put in mustard,jeera and curry leaves.
- When they crackle and curry leaves crisp,pour over the chutney and mix well.
Serve with a breakfast of your choice.
