Broken Wheat Dosa

Health Benefits of Broken Wheat: Made from crushing whole wheat berries, the nutrition and fiber is intact and hence very healthy... Good source of Iron , Magnesium and Phosphorus and higher glycemic index and nutritional value than rice..


Ingredients:
3 Cups Broken Wheat/ Dalia/ Gonva Khan
1 Cup Urad Dal/ Skinned split black gram
1 Cup Rice
1 tsp Fenugreek seeds/ Methi
Salt to taste

Oil for cooking the dosa

Recipe:
1. Wash well and soak the urad dal along with fenugreek seeds in little water for 4 hours..

2. Wash well and soak the broken wheat along with rice for around 4 hours..
3. Grind the urad dal mixture with little of the soaking water to a smooth paste.. Pour into a bowl..
4. Grind the broken wheat-rice mixture with little water to a smooth paste..
5. Pour it into the bowl..
6. Add salt and mix both the batters well with hands..
7. Keep it in a warm place for 8 hours or overnight for fermentation...
8. While making dosas, heat a pan and reduce the flame to medium..
9. Pour a ladle of batter in the center of the pan... Just tilt the pan to give the round shape..
Note: My batter was slightly thinner than regular dosa batter consistency.. That is why i did not spread the dosas with the back of the ladle.. If yours comes out dosa batter consistency, spread them like regular dosas..
10. Cover and cook for few seconds till the top surface looks cooked..

11. Pour a few drops of oil on the sides of the dosa.. Slowly remove the dosa from the sides and moving towards the center.. Flip and cook the dosa for few seconds..
12. Remove from pan..
Serve hot with a chutney of your choice or Sambar! I served it with Tomato Curry.
Note: Refrigerate the remaining batter.. Keep the batter at room temperature for at least 30 mins before making dosas..
