Instant Dosa

Using flours very similar to Jayanti's 'Chapati Dosa', (another friend pointed out that the ingredients are very similar to that of a thaleepeeth) you can make instant dosa or uttapam on days when you have unexpected guests. This batter unlike most dosa batter doesn't need to rest for a few hours and can be used instantly.

Ingredients:


Wheat flour - 2 tbsps
Rice flours - 2 tbsps
Chana flour - 2 tbsps
Nachni flour - 2 tbsps
Jowari flour - 2 tbsps
Bajra flour - 2 tbsps
Finely chopped onion - 1/2
Finely chopped green chillies - 2
Finely chopped coriander leaves - 2 tbsps
Finely chopped tomato - 1/2 (optional)
Salt - to taste

Method:


Mix all the ingredients together with water and make batter that is of dosa batter consistency. Heat a non-stick dosa/pancake pan and sprinkle it with a little oil. Pour 2 ladles of the batter and spread it evenly to make the dosas.

Note:  If you're falling short of any flours you can just continue making the dosa with the rest of the flours. My friend Sharavati uses the multi-grain pancake flour that's available with besan and any other flour she has. You can try this dosa and it's toppings with various permutations and combinations.
Enjoy!!

Chapati Dosa

On days when when you're bored to cook a very elaborate meal, my friend Jayanti recommends a very simple solution she calls 'chapati dosa'. Here is her recipe:

Mix one cup each of all the flours you have in your kitchen; rice, wheat, jowar, chana, bajri,nachni, etc.
Add salt, turmeric, jeera powder, red chili powder & dhania powder to the mixture and add water to get it to dosa batter consistency.
Pour two ladles of the batter on a non-stick tawa and spread evenly to make delicious chapati dosas.
Serve hot with chutney, ketchup or pickle.

Jayanti's tip - You can make a slightly different variant by adding finely chopped onions and tomatoes on top of the dosa.
