Ingredients

Rice Flour: 1 cup

Wheat Flour: 3 teaspoons

Salt: As required

Cumin Seeds: 1 teaspoon

Water: 250 ml (1 and 1/2 cups)

Procedure

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, wheat flour, and salt thoroughly.

Step 2: Add Water and Cumin Seeds

Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring to form a thin batter. The consistency should be thin and pourable, similar to that of pancake batter. Add the cumin seeds and mix well.

Step 3: Preheat the Dosa Pan

Place a dosa pan or tawa on medium-high heat and let it preheat thoroughly.

Step 4: Grease the Pan

Lightly grease the hot pan with a few drops of oil to prevent the dosa from sticking.

Step 5: Pour the Batter onto the Pan

Using a small cup or ladle, pour the batter onto the pan starting from the edges and moving towards the center in a circular motion. Since the batter is thin, it will spread by itself.

Step 6: Drizzle Oil Over the Dosa

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa and over any holes or pores on the surface to help it cook evenly and become crispy.

Step 7: Cover and Cook

Cover the dosa with a lid and cook on high flame for about a minute or until the edges start to lift and the surface looks cooked.

Step 8: Serve the Dosa

Once the dosa is cooked and the edges are crispy, gently lift it from the pan and serve hot. There is no need to cook the other side.

Enjoy your delicious and crispy Instant Dosa! This quick recipe saves you time without compromising on taste, making it an excellent choice for any meal. Serve it hot with your favorite chutneys or pickles for a complete and satisfying experience.

Best served with traditional accompaniments like Kobbari Karam (Coconut Spice Mix), Nalla Karam (Spicy Black Gram Powder), Mango Pickle, Peanut Chutney, Coconut Chutney (Kobbari Pachadi), or Chili Chutney, or Putnala Chutney (Roasted Gram Chutney).

Instant Dosa is also a great option for lunch boxes, evening snacks, or breakfast.

Hint: You can add 1 teaspoon of all-purpose flour (Maida) to the batter if you prefer.
