Ingredients

  • Wheat flour - 1/2 cup
  • Rice flour - 1/4 cup
  • Maida - 1 tbsp optional
  • Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp adjust according to your taste
  • Salt - 1 tsp
  • Buttermilk - 3 tbsp
  • Water - Around 1 cup + 3 tbsp
  • Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
  • Asofetida - generous pinch

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add all flours and salt; mix well. Add buttermilk and water, mix well without lumps. The batter should be thinner than the regular dosa batter consistency
  • Add all the other ingredients listed except oil and combine well. Keep the batter aside for 10 - 15 minutes
  • On medium flame, heat a non stick/ iron dosai pan. Check for the batter consistency, and if it has become thick, drizzle 1/2 tbsp of water
  • Once the pan becomes hot, take a ladleful of batter and make an outer circle; because the batter is thin, it will be spread in the middle. If required, fill a small portion of batter in between. Drizzle oil and cook on one side; after it is cooked, carefully flip to the other side. Instant wheat dosa is ready; serve it with chutney/sambar/thokku

Notes

  1. If you prefer crispy dosa increase the rice flour proportion. Equal about of wheat flour and rice flour can also be used. Adjust the water accordingly
  2. If you have leftover sour dosa batter add just the wheat flour and make dosa. Rice flour can be skipped in this way
  3. Maida can be avoided in the dosa batter. I have tried godhumai dosai with/without maida
  4. Instant dosai taste great if consumed immediately
  5. Resting the batter for a longtime might change the batter consistency to be thick. Drizzle few tbsp of water in that case
  6. In low flame dosai can also be cooked for crispy texture
  7. Mustard seeds, urad dal, cumin seeds, green chilli, curry leaves can be tempered and onion can be sautéd and added to the batter. My mom does this way. I am bit sluggish so I avoid that step
  8. Onion can be skipped and no onion version dosai can also be prepared
  9. Usually finely chopped green chilli and ginger are added, as I give this dosai to my toddler I add pepper powder instead
  10. took 1 tbsp and 1 tsp of thick curd and added 3 tbsp of water for buttermilk. You can also use store stroufht buttermilk
