Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 0.5 cup Whole green gram (moong dal)
- 0.25 cup Oats
- 1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds (methi seeds)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or any heart-healthy oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the brown rice, whole green gram, and fenugreek seeds thoroughly under running water. Soak them together in enough water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Drain the soaked mixture and transfer it to a blender. Add the oats and blend into a smooth batter, adding water as needed. The consistency should be smooth and similar to pancake batter.
Step 3
Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover, and let it ferment in a warm place for 6-8 hours or until it has slightly increased in volume and you can see air bubbles on the surface.
Step 4
Once fermented, stir the batter and add salt. Mix well, adding a little water if the batter is too thick.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan or a traditional dosa tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a brush or kitchen towel dipped in a little of the heart-healthy oil.
Step 6
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread in a circular motion to form a thin pancake. Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosai.
Step 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the edges start to lift from the pan. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve hot with chutney or sambar of your choice.
