Healthy Dosa Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole grain rice (brown rice or red rice)
• 1/2 cup urad dal (split black gram)
• 1/4 cup fenugreek seeds
• 1/2 cup soaked and blended watermelon seeds
• Salt to taste
• Oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Thoroughly rinse the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately, then soak them in water for approximately 6-8 hours. Soak the watermelon seeds in water for 15 minutes before grinding.
2. Drain the water from the rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds. Grind them together to a smooth batter using a wet grinder or blender, adding water as needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
3. Separately grind the soaked watermelon seeds to a smooth paste, and add it to the rice and dal batter. Mix well to combine.
4. Add salt to the batter and mix again. The batter should have a slightly thinner consistency than pancake batter.
5. Cover the batter with a lid and allow it to ferment overnight or for about 8-10 hours in a warm place. The batter will rise and develop a slight tangy flavor.
6. Once fermented, gently mix the batter to incorporate air and remove any lumps.
7. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat, and lightly grease it with oil.
8. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it in a circular motion to create a thin and even dosa.
9. Drizzle a small amount of oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
10. Flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for a minute or two.
11. Remove the dosa from the pan and serve it hot with chutney.

Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful dosa!
