Whole wheat dosa(crepe)

I was too lazy to cook a whole meal last night. I decided to make something quick and light. My mom used to make a quick snack with wheat flour batter. Its called wheat dosa or crepe. It is usually eaten for breakfast in India. It is made with a mixture of wheat flour, rice flour and all purpose flour made into a batter. It tastes delicious with an kind of chutney. But, I like it best with milagai podi(dosa powder). Kids can make this with little supervision. It would be a great mid-night snack for teens!

Ingredients:

For the Batter:

1/2 Cup whole wheat flour
1/4 Cup rice flour
1/8 Cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 Cup sour plain yogurt
water
salt to taste
oil to make the crepes

For Tempering:

1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 green chili, chopped
2-3 curry leaves
oil to temper


Method:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

                                                                

2. Mix the yogurt with water and add to the the bowl to make a batter that is not too thick or too thin.

                                                                  

3. Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a small pan, temper mustard and cumin seeds. Add chili and curry leaves when mustard splutters. Stir into the batter. Set the batter aside for 10 minutes

3. Heat a griddle to medium heat. When the griddle is hot (test by sprinkling little water). Pour a ladle
of batter around the center of the griddle. Do not spread with the ladle. Instead, just pour it around to make a thin crepe. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes. Gently flip the crepe over with a spatula and cook the other side for a few minutes.

 

 

4. Slide on a plate. Continue making crepes with the remaining batter.

5.Serve with a chutney or milagai podi.
