Oats and Legumes/Daals Dosa/Crepe(Oil Free Adai)

Today I am going to present one more healthy,fibre rich and protein rich dosa.A great way to give healthy nutrition to kids and your family.In this particular recipe I am using a variety of  legumes...Black Gram/Urad Daal , Green Gram/Moong Daal , Pigeon Peas/Toor Daal , Split Chickpeas/Chana Daal and Oat Meal.This is getting better right? Yes and you know what ?----this dosa is oil free .Yup it is.

Let's get ready with the igredients and see the preparation process-----------------------

Main Ingredients :

------------------

Moong Daal........................1/2cup

Toor Daal...........................1/2cup

Urad Daal...........................1/2cup

Chana Daal.........................1/2cup

Oat Meal.............................2cups

Seasoning Ingredients :

-----------------------

Black Pepper......................2tsp(whole)
Asafoetida...........................1/2tsp

Salt......................................to taste

Preparation :

--------------

First rinse all the daals well and soak them together in a bowl for 4 hours.

After the daals are well soaked , rinse them one more time and place them a little at a time in the mixie jar and grind with some black pepper and salt.Black pepper adds a disitnct and unique flavor to the dosa.

While the daal is grinding , take 2 cups of oat meal and soak it in water for 5 minutes.

With last batch of daal add the oatmeal and rest of the pepper ,salt and asafoetida and grind it to a smooth paste.Now the oats-legumes batter is all ready for us to prepare the dosa.

Place a dosa pan or tawa on the stove on medium-high heat .Once the tawa is hot place 2ladles of batter on the tawa and spread it to make the dosa.(Do not add any oil to the dosa).

Once the dosa is done on one side flip it to the other side and when it is done serve with any chutney,powder or sambar or vegetable curry of your choice.

I served it to my kids with little Butter, Dalia Chutney.My kids loved it .You can also serve it with plain yougrt too .Me and my husband enjoyed the dosa the same way without butter.

If possible try it at home and let me know how you like it.

Note :

-------

1)I did not use any rice in this dosa.

2)Adding asafoetida and black pepper helps with the digestion as daals are heavy food.

3)You can adjust the amount of daals according to your family's taste.You can omit some if you don't want.

4)This makes a great breakfast and also good to supplement for an evening dinner.

5)All the daals and oats provide us with rich nutrition.Instead of making the kids eat daal and oats separately making a dosa of this form gives them complete nutrition.

Observation :
---------------
This is the first time I made this dosa and our entire family enjoyed it.After I made it the other day some batter was left-over and I kept it in the fridge.After one day when I tried making the dosa,to my surprise the dosa has become more softer and felt just like regular urad dosa.I felt that letting the batter stay for one night in the fridge so that it ferments a little and then making dosa next day makes this dosa more soft and easily digestable.

I am sending this Oats and Legumes/Daals Dosa/Crepe(Oil Free Adai) to JIHVA-Breakfast event being guest hosted by Suma of Veggie Platter which was originally founded by Indira of Mahanandi.
