Ingredients
1cupquick cooking oats * see note
1/3rd cup black gram dalurad 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.
