Quinoa – Besan Dosa (Crepes)

Quinoa – Besan Dosa

I feel Quinoa makes any dish healthy. These days I’ve been using Quinoa in many daily recipes. This is one such dish I prepared using cooked Quinoa. Dosa tasted so delicious and felt good. 


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cooked Quinoa
  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour (సెనగపిండి, Besan)
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
  • Salt
  • Oil or Non-stick spray 
Preparation:
  1. Add quinoa + besan + cumin seeds + chili powder + salt in a bowl; pour some water and mix well to make a thin batter.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan. Then take a ladleful of batter, first pour around the edges of the pan in a circle and quickly fill in the circle to make it into a big circle. 
  3. Pour some oil or spray non-stick spray around the dosa and let the dosa cook for a while. 
  4. Then flip it over and pour some more oil (optional). 
  5. When it is cooked on both sides, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  6. Repeat the same process with the remaining batter.

  5. When the batter is ready, mix it well and check for salt and add some water if the batter became thick.

Orange Rava Dosa

Orange Rava Dosa

One day I tried to make orange juice in a weird way. I took out orange wedges, put in the blender and blended finely. Then filtered it to extract juice, but could get only a glass full of juice with so many oranges and more of orange pulp. I didn't want to waste the orange pulp, so thought of using it in some recipe and stored it in the refrigerator for a day. The next day I got the idea of making dosas with the pulp. DH and kids laughed at the idea of an orange dosa, but they agreed that it tasted great when I made it.

Soy Beans – Brown Rice Dosa

Soy Beans – Brown Rice Dosa

Presenting another healthy dosa version! This tasted so delicious like all the other dosas. We all know about the many health benefits of soya and brown rice.

Soybeans provide lots of proteins, iron, calcium, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. They are also excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E and folic acid. It helps in reducing LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and in cancer prevention.

Brown rice is considered to be an excellent food for weight loss and lowering cholesterol. It is a rich source of fiber and many vitamins.

Pinto Beans Dosa - Spicy

Pinto Beans Dosa

I recently made a yummy dosa with pinto beans. DH said it tasted soooo delicious. I felt like eating a pesarattu.

Pinto beans are so rich in fiber and iron. Here are some health benefits of these beans:

Pinto beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, pinto beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, pinto beans provide virtually fat-free, high quality protein. But this is far from all pinto beans have to offer. Pinto beans are also an excellent source of molybdenum, a very good source of folate and manganese, and a good source of protein and vitamin B1 as well as the minerals phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium, and copper. Source: WHFoods.

Pinto Beans Dosa
A closer look


Ingredients:
Pinto Beans Dosa

  • 1 cup Rice Flour
  • A small piece of Ginger
  • 2 or 3 Green Chilies
  • Handful of Cilantro Leaves
  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • Salt as required
  • Oil
Preparation:
Pinto Beans Dosa
  1. Wash and soak pinto beans in plenty of water overnight or at least 8 hours.
  2. When they become soft, grind the beans into a fine paste along with ginger + green chilies + cilantro. Add more water if needed. It’s ok if it doesn’t grind so smoothly, it still tastes great.
  3. Note: You can also grind ginger + green chilies + cilantro separately instead of adding it to the beans and then mix with the batter.
  4. Transfer this pinto bean batter to a big bowl and add rice flour + cumin seeds + salt and mix well. Make a thin batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of the batter in the center and spread quickly into a circle. Pour little oil around the dosa and leave it for some time until it comes off easily from the pan.
  6. Flip over and pour little more oil (optional) around the dosa and let it cook for some time. Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate. Repeat the same process with remaining batter.

Cilantro Dosa (Kottimeera Dosa)

Cilantro Dosa (Kottimeera Dosa)

I mostly make instant dosas that need little preparation. But that doesn’t mean I never go for traditional cooking. I do cook traditionally sometimes, but mostly the easy way! This is also an instant dosa infused with cilantro (coriander leaves) and green chilies. 


Ingredients :
  • 3 cups Rice Flour
  • 1 cup Urad Flour (Flour made out of Black Gram Dal available in Indian stores)
  • 1 bunch of Cilantro, washed
  • 5 or 6 Green Chilies, stems removed
  • Salt as required
  • Oil
  • Some Buttermilk or water to make the batter
Preparation:
  1. Grind together cilantro + green chilies into a fine paste by adding little water.
  2. In a big bowl mix rice flour and urad flour together. Add the ground cilantro + chili paste to the flours and mix well. Pour buttermilk or water to make thin batter. Keep the batter aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter first around the edges of the pan into a circular shape and then fill in the circle fast.
  4. Due to the addition of buttermilk, we can’t spread the batter into a thin circle with a spatula. So we just need to pour the batter the way suggested above.
  5. Pour some oil around the dosa and let the dosa cook. When it’s cooked on one side, flip it over to cook on the other side. Then transfer the dosa to a serving plate.
  6. Repeat the same process with rest of the batter.
  7. Enjoy these yummy dosas with desired chutney. We ate ours with Onion Chutney.

Peppered Wheat Dosa

Peppered Wheat Dosa

Most of us know about the goodness of black pepper, right? As far as I know, black pepper helps in good digestion and relieves cold symptoms. I remember my mom used to make small balls out of jaggery mixed with black peppercorns to treat cough. It really worked for me! I recently heard that it is better if we replace red chili powder with black pepper powder, as peppercorns proved to possess many medicinal benefits.

I usually add red chili powder while making wheat dosas, but this time I thought of using black pepper powder. Another reason was, I had bad cold that day. So thought it would work both ways: good for my throat and also give a different taste to wheat dosas. It really tasted delicious and spicy. 

Ingredients:
Peppered Wheat Dosa
  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup Rice Flour
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Powder
  • Buttermilk to mix
  • Oil to pour around dosas
  • Salt as required
Preparation:
  1. Combine wheat flour + rice flour + black pepper + salt using buttermilk. If no buttermilk is available, just add some plain yogurt and water to mix the batter. The batter should be thin.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan. Take a ladleful of batter and first pour around the edges of the pan in a circle.
  3. Quickly fill in the circle to make it into a big circle. 
  4. Pour some oil around the dosa and let the dosa cooked for a while. 
  5. Then flip it over and pour some more oil (optional). 
  6. When it is cooked on both sides, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  7. Repeat the same process with remaining batter. 
  8. Enjoy these delicious and spicy dosas with your favorite chutney. 
  9. We had our dosas with peanut chutney.

Upma Dosa

Upma Dosa

When I have leftover upma, I don’t like to eat it by reheating. I just turn it into different forms like bondas just like I made Vermicelli Bonda and sometimes pakodas and sometimes dosas like these. I guarantee the taste. This involves easiest preparation with limited number of ingredients. 

Upma Dosa


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Leftover Upma
  • 1 cup Rice Flour (బియ్యపు పిండి)
  • ½ cup Chickpea Flour (శనగపిండి)
  • Salt
  • Oil
Method:
  1. Add all the ingredients except oil in a wide bowl and mix well by adding water to make batter. 
  2. The batter shouldn’t be too thick or too thin, but just right enough to drop and spread with a ladle.
  3. To make sure there are no lumps in the batter, use hand to mix the ingredients.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter on it and spread out quickly into a round shape.
  5. But don’t spread the batter into a very thin layer. It should be little thin like we do for utappams.
  6. Pour a little oil around the dosa. Leave it for a while to cook and flip it over to cook on the other side. Pour a little oil again around the dosa.
  7. When the dosa is done, take it away from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. 
  8. Repeat the same process with remaining batter.
  9. Enjoy these yummy dosas with your favorite chutney. 
  10. We ate our dosas with cilantro pickle and some curry powder.

  • Salt as required

Preparation:

Millet Dosa Batter
  1. Mix together millet flour + rice flour with water to make a thin batter. 
  2. Add the chopped onions + green chilies + cumin seeds + cilantro to the batter and mix well. Add salt to taste.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter on it and spread out quickly into a circle. 
  4. Pour little oil around the dosa and leave it for some time. Then flip it over, add a little oil and let the other side to cook. 
  5. Transfer the dosa into a serving plate. Repeat the same process with rest of the batter.
  6. Serve hot with desired chutney. 'These dosas taste better when they are still warm. 
  7. These tasted just like wheat flour dosas.
