Wheat Dosa

INGREDIENTS:
  • Wheat flour : 1 cup
  • Rice flour: 2 Tbsp
  • Cumin seeds : 1 tsp
  • Green Chilies( finely chopped): 2 nos
  • Salt - as reqd
  • Lukewarm water - 11/2 - 2cups
  • Cooking oil  - 2 tsp
METHOD: 
  • Mix the flours and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water to make a thin batter. Ensure no lumps when forming the batter.
  • The consistency of the batter should be thinner than the normal dosa batter. You would need about 11/2  cups of water.
  • In a teaspoon of oil, temper the cumin seeds.When they start popping,add the chopped green chilies and roast well. 
  • The cumin and chilies may be added without tempering, but this brings out the flavors better.
  • Set aside to cool. When slightly warm, you can add the tempering to the batter. Mix well through the batter. Suggest cooling the tempering before adding to the batter as the hot tempering may cause the batter to lump.
  • Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes. This makes the dosas better.
  • Heat a flat pan (dosa tawa) and grease it . 
  • Pour a laddle full of batter and spread it like a dosa. 
  • Cook it on medium heat.
  • When the bottom turns into light golden brown color then turn it into other side. 
  • Cook on medium flame for few more mins.
  • Remove from flame and serve wheat Dosa with chutney, sambhar or curd.
