Instructions

Make this flavorful and nutritious dosa for your little one once or twice a week to ensure that he gets all the essential nutrients for his healthy growth. Follow the instructions given below on how to make multigrain dosa:

1. Sieve all the flours in a large mixing bowl; add in the salt, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and cumin seeds, and mix well.
2. Now whisk in the curd then gradually add water to get the consistency of dosa batter.
3. Let the batter rest for about 30-40 minutes as it will help in fermenting the batter.
4. Heat a non-stick dosa tawa and pour a ladle-full of batter onto it and swirl the tawa a bit so that the batter spreads evenly on it.
5. You can add in a little more batter on the tawa if needed.
6. Pour some oil from the edges if needed.
7. Once the dosa is cooked from one side, gently flip it and cook for a couple of minutes and serve hot. Once it is properly cooked from both the sides, transfer it to a plate and serve warm!

In order to ensure that your homemade multigrain dosas taste delicious, keep a note of the following recipe tips:

• You can add finely chopped onions to the batter to enhance the taste of the dosas.

• You can also add some semolina flour for crispier dosas.
• Any millet flour can be added to this recipe to make it more nutritious.
