"Love Dosa?"- Follow This New Version Of High-Protein Dosa Recipe And You Wont Regret The Taste!

Dosa is traditionally made with a fermented batter of rice and urad dal if we look at the authentic way of making them. but here to make it even more healthier by increasing the protein content of our meal, here we discovered this winning recipe of mixed dal dosa made with not one or two, but five different lentils!  yes heard it right. This dosa is as protein-rich and nutrient-rich as they come. 

This high-protein dal dosa is a welcome change from the regular dosas we've grown accustomed to which sometimes is quite boring and requires a little bit of change to it. With the goodness of various dals, you can expect them to be highly nutritious and ideal for your family's morning routine, especially for the kids.

Ingredients: 

  • 1/4 cup arhar dal
  • 1/4 cup split green moong dal
  • 1/4 cup dhuli (yellow moong dal)
  • 1/4 cup split chickpeas (chana dal)
  • 1/4 cup urad dal - dhuli (black split lentils)
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • 3 red chilies, whole
  • Season with salt to taste

Process: 

  1. It's important to wash and soak the dals and rice overnight. This helps to make them soft and allows for proper grinding, which makes them easier to digest.
  2. In a blender, combine the soaked and drained dals and rice with all of the other ingredients except the ghee. Blend in the water until smooth.
  3. The blended batter should have a pourable consistency, similar to a dosa batter.
  4. Heat a dosa tava (pan) and pour the batter in the center to make dosas. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter in a circular motion, similar to making dosas or chillas.
  5. Pour ghee along the edges and in the center of the dosa, then flatten it using the back of a spatula. The cooking process is similar to making regular dosas.
  6. Cook the dosa until it turns golden brown and becomes crispy. Remember to cook it on medium heat to avoid burning. Serve right away!!

The best thing about this recipe is its batter. the batter does not require fermentation, you can start making dosas right away after grinding the ingredients in the morning and soaking them overnight.

Enjoy the flavor of this nutritious high-protein dish.
