Quinoa Dosa

Quinoa Dosa

Quinoa is a grain that has little crunchy texture. It gives a nutty flavor when cooked. Quinoa belongs to spinach family. It is rich in proteins and fiber. Though Quinoa is not a very common grain in many kitchens, many are trying to explore this wonder grain due its health benefits.

Quinoa is a very good source of manganese as well as a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus; this "grain" may be especially valuable for persons with migraine headaches, diabetes and atherosclerosis. Source: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=142
I made Dosas with Quinoa and they tasted sooo delicious!! This is an instant dosa and doesn't need any fermentation. And these are very easy and quick to make. 


Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Organic Quinoa
  • 1 cup Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup Rice Flour
  • Salt
  • Oil
Preparation:
  1. Wash Quinoa well. Then mix all the ingredients except oil into a batter using water as required. It should of dropping consistency and it should be considerably thin.
  2. Heat a pan and pour a ladleful of batter and make a circle. 
  3. But don’t spread it like most dosas. Start pouring the batter around the edge of the pan thus making a big hollow circle. Quickly fill in the circle with more batter. 
  4. Pour little oil around the dosa and allow it to cook for some time.
  5. Then flip it over and allow it to cook on the other side too. Pour little oil around the dosa if needed. Transfer the dosa to a serving plate.
  6. Repeat the same process with remaining batter. 
  7. Enjoy these healthy and yummy dosas with desired chutney.
  8. Yummy!!

This looks like a great healthy recipe. I am wondering if quinoa needs to be cooked?

Thanks,

@Sasha,

Welcome to my blog! No, we don't have to cook quinoa. Just add it with rest of the flours to make a batter. Hope it cleared your doubt!
