Wheat Dosa ( Godumai Dosai)


Wheat Dosa or Godumai Dosai is an all time favourite in our house. Its ones of those dishes that can be made in a jiffy and tastes great with any available side dish including just pickle and curd.


Basic Recipe:

Ingredients:
(makes 6 dosas)

1 cups wheat flour ( chapathi flour)
1/4 cup tablespoons Rice flour
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander leaves washed and chopped
1 small green chilly finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
a pinch of hing
oil/ghee for the dosas



Method:

1) Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. 

2) Add water slowly, stirring the contents and making sure that there are no lumps.

3) Add water till the batter is smooth but runny. This batter is very runny and not like the iddly/dosa batter.


4) Take a flat pan/ tava and smear with 1/2 a teaspoon oil.

5) Once the pan is hot, take a ladle full of batter and start pouring it on the pan in a circular manner - starting from the outer side of the pan. This dosa will have holes in it. 

6) Now reduce the flame to medium heat.

7) Add a little oil around the dosa. ( The amount of oil depends on individual taste and health)

8) Once the dosa comes off the tava easily, flip it over and cook till golden brown.

9) Remove and serve hot with chutney, sambhar, pickle and other side dishes.


Optional Additions:

Onions can be added to the batter  for a slightly different flavour.

It is important that the tava is hot when you start pouring the batter.

Very little oil is required if it is made on a non-stick pan.
