HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE BROKEN WHEAT DAL DOSA RECIPE

Soak the broken wheat and moong dal with enough water for 2 hours.  After 2 hours, drain the water and add the soaked broken wheat and moong dal to a mixer grinder.  Add hing and salt.

First grind for few seconds without adding water.  Then add very little water and grind to make a smooth paste.  Pour the batter in a vessel.  Check for salt and add if required.  Mix together thoroughly.  The consistency should be like dosa batter.

Heat a griddle or a non-stick tawa or plain dosa tawa on  a low to medium flame.  Pour a ladle of batter into the centre of the tawa and quickly spread the batter evenly into a round shape, starting at the inside of the circle and working towards the outside.  Drizzle a few drops of oil along the edges

Once the  corners starts lifting up and the underside is golden colour, flip to the other side and drizzle another 1/2 teaspoon of oil along the edges.  Once both the sides are cooked, transfer the dosa to a serving plate.  Healthy and tasty broken wheat dosa is ready to be served.  Serve with sambar and  coconut chutney.

NOTES/TIPS

Green chillies, ginger and coriander leaves can also be added to  the batter at the time of grinding.

Prepare this dosa immediately without fermenting.  Leftover batter can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.
