Dosas are a thin, savory crepe-like Indian pancake traditionally eaten for breakfast, but I like them anytime. These may not be very authentic, but they are a tasty alternative that appeals to the typical American pancake.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup brown rice flour

  • ½ cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • ¼ teaspoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Stir the brown rice and whole wheat flours together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the water to make a thin batter. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, sugar, turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander, ginger, cayenne pepper and rice vinegar until evenly blended. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour, or overnight.

  2. To cook the dosas, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it over the bottom in a thin layer. Cook 1 minute, turn, and cook 1 minute more. Remove from the pan. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Note:

You may substitute chickpea flour for the 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, if desired.
