Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick cooking oats * see note
  • 1/3 rd cup black gram dal urad dal
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the urad dal and soak it in plenty of water for 3-4 hours. Soak the oats too (without washing) in a separate bowl for the same amount of time.
  • After 3-4 hours, discard the water and grind the urad dal to a fine paste. Transfer to a bowl. Grind the oats too with minimal water (use the same water that the oats soaked in). Mix both the batters together and add water if required to get a batter of flowing consistency - neither too thick nor too thin. Add salt to taste.
  • To fry the dosa, heat up a griddle/tawa to medium hot. Pour a ladleful of batter in the centre of the griddle and spread it in a circular motion covering the entire surface of the griddle. Cover and let the dosa cook for a minute. Sprinkle a few drops of ghee or oil around the edge of the dosa. Remove onto a plate when done
  • Before you repeat the process, sprinkle the tawa with some oil, wipe with a clean cloth and continue. This will bring down the temperature of the tawa if it has heated up too much.
  • Serve dosa with any chutney or dip of your choice. This dosa tastes good with cheese spread or honey too

Notes

Note:
I used regular Quaker quick cooking (not instant) porridge oats and pulsed it in a mixer grinder.
