Protein Atta Dosai |Healthy Wheat Dosa| Protein Rich Recipes By Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms,

During the recent times following the #21daylockdown, we  are all trying the 'smart cooking technique' so that we spend less time in the kitchen and have energy to do other household chores.  

Smart cooking involves smarter recipes that has the mix of health, taste and is absolutely fuss free . It also involves using minimum ingredients and cooking time too. 

I am sharing one such recipe today. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use the flour that you have in your pantry. You can also use the legumes that you have in stock. If you do not have legumes, you can use dal/lentil instead. Soak them for 3-4 hours and use it in this recipe. 

You can also add any herbs or vegetables as a topping to make it more wholesome. But let me tell you that the plain dosa itself is so yummy and requires no side dish.

I just served it with some jaggery and pickle. Do try it today and let me know how it turned out. 

Let's start cooking!

Healthy Wheat Dosa | Instant Protein Atta Dosai :

Preparation time : 5 minutes
Cooking time : 20 minutes
Makes : Approximately 10 dosa(s)
1 cup = 200 ml cup 

Ingredients :

1 cup atta/ whole wheat flour
1 cup chickpeas sprouts (uncooked) ( you can use soaked chickpeas also)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns ( powdered)
1/2" fresh ginger (chopped) OR pinch of asafoetida 
few coriander leaves (roughly chopped) (optional)
2 cups water ( adjust)
salt to taste

Method:

1. Mix Atta, turmeric powder, black peppercorns, salt  in a large vessel and mix well.

2. Add 1 cup water and mix to make a lump free paste ( thick batter).

3. Grind the sprouted or soaked chickpeas and ginger into a smooth mixture using 1/2 cup water.

4. Add the ground chickpeas mixture into the atta mixture and add another 1/2 cup water, chopped coriander and mix well. Your batter is now ready.

Chef tips: The batter should not be too watery or too thick. If the batter becomes too watery and you are unable to make the dosa without it sticking to the pan, then add 2-3 tablespoons of atta into the batter , mix and make the dosa. 

5. Heat dosa tava and start making the dosa just the way you would make regular dosa.

Chef tip: As the texture of this dosa is 'soft', make sure to make smaller dosa so that it will be easy to flip and cook. Cook till the dosa is well browned on both sides.

6. Repeat the same process for the entire batch . 

Your delicious and wholesome Protein Atta Dosai is now ready ! 

Happy Cooking!

With love,
