Instant Wheat Dosa
Saturday, April 26, 2014
Instant dosas or idlies are really handy and definitely saves us when we run out of the Idly batter. For this weeks blogging marathon i chosed instant dosas or idlies as theme and the next two days are going to be healthy, quick and instant versions of dosas and idlies. Coming to todays recipe, its definitely a quick and very healthy dosas we prepare quite often simply with wheat flour and rice flour. This dosa makes a super filling dinner or breakfast if you serves them with a simple chutney or sambhar. Personally wheat dosas are my favourite, since am yet to post this instant dosas in my space, i prepared them few days back for my lunch and enjoyed with some tomato sambhar.
My H and kids dont like these kind instant dosas or idlies that much,but who cares ill make them specially for me.Earlier i insisted them to take these healthy foods, but it never worked with them. Obviously if i want to feed them with wheat flour in dosas, ill add some flour in the sour dosa batter and makes wheat uthappams with loads of onions.This way they will eat without any fuss. However when i chosed this theme for this week, i know am gonna have feast with my favourite instant idlies and dosas.

Drizzle few drops of oil around and flip the other side and cook well.
Serve this healthy dosas with any sort of spicy chutneys or sambhar..
