Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients
  • 1 cup wheat flour (120 grams)
  • ½ cup rice flour (60 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (freshly cracked, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (zeera)
  • ¼ cup red onions (finely chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon ginger (minced or grated, optional)
  • 1 green chili (finely chopped, optional)
  • ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 5-6 curry leaves
  • 3 cups water
  • 4-5 tablespoons ghee (or oil, as required)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the wheat flour, rice flour, salt, black pepper, and cumin seeds until well combined.
  2. Add the chopped red onions, ginger, green chili, cilantro, and curry leaves to the dry ingredients, stirring to evenly distribute.
  3. Gradually pour in the water while stirring, aiming for a smooth, pourable batter. Let this rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of ghee or oil to coat the surface.
  2. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot skillet, swirling it to create a thin, even circle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
  3. Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another minute. Remove it from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more ghee as needed.

Notes

Wheat dosa is fantastic on its own but pairs well with coconut chutney, spicy sambar, or yogurt. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
