What is a Wheat Dosa?

 

Traditionally, dosas are made by fermenting lentils with rice and grinding them into a fine batter to pan-fry them to perfection. This wheat dosa recipe is a fun twist on the classic without the factor of fermentation. Wheat dosa is a type of dosa that uses wheat flour and a range of spices to create a quick breakfast option. 


Similar to the rice one, this atta (wheat flour) dosa makes for a soft yet crispy dosa that is both, wholesome and mildly nutty in flavour. No matter what you call it, godhuma dosa, gothambu dosa or atta dosa, this dish is versatile and perfect to be paired with mint chutneys, sambar or even a simple yoghurt raita.

Cooking Tips for Wheat Dosa

 

It is possible that even after some tries you may still face issues like sticky dosa and thick edges. Although tasty, these features may not make the dosa appealing to the eye. Here are a few tips you may try to tackle these issues: 

 

 

  • Check the consistency of your wheat dosa batter. You should be aiming for a pouring consistency that is neither too thin nor too thick. If your batter is too thin, it may not hold together, and on the other hand, it may get dense if the batter is too thick. Therefore, check and regulate the batter with water and wheat flour. 

 

 

  • At times, if the pan is not heated enough, the batter may not stick to the pan easily, resulting in a lump of sticky dosa. We’ve all been there! To combat this, discard the sticky dosa and work fresh with a well-seasoned heated pan and a thin layer of oil. 

 

 

  • If your dosas are either turning undercooked or, worse, burnt, then you may need to control the heat. Set the heat of the stove to medium for a start. 

 

If you have a picky eater on your hands, try experimenting with this wheat dosa recipe by adding finely grated veggies such as carrots, bell peppers and spinach puree for added nutrition and a burst of colour.

This whole wheat dosa makes for a wholesome meal for an entire family, offering an instant twist to the classic. Next time you are contemplating what to cook next, let this atta dosa recipe be your guide to a filling meal that is ready within minutes!
