It all sounded so funny when I initially came in here. Like when the people said – “always carry your Umbrella and a Jacket with you” and I laughed. Realization soon sucked deep inside after I tripped twice on slippery roads, got drenching wet a few times, and shivered in chilly breeze almost every that day I thought it’s going to be Sunny. Now, even I follow this horribly funny habit of checking weather almost every day. I religiously prepare and follow my plans based on the Weather and …. Errr !! I am talking about the weather again.. Sorry ladies, this Weather saga is never ending tale in England. Consider yourself luckier if you are living in some other part of the world really !

Coming back to the recipe for today, this Wheat Dosa was just a vague experiment out of necessity. Though my friend K had given a lot of tips for preparing instant Dosas before, I had forgotten all of them and didn’t apply any while I actually made this one. I was really feeling hungry and S was not at home, so fortunately I got a chance to make something only for my own poor self. Since he is the biggest sucker when it comes to South Indian food. I once made Idli for dinner and he actually, really asked for dinner after finishing off 3 plates full. He just doesn’t consider it a meal at all, “it’s just a snack” !!!…
So anyway, I found this real good opportunity to treat myself with a good Instant Dosa and I searched for some recipes online. I don’t remember now which recipe I adopted for this but it was definitely a keeper. The Dosa got ready in no time and it was such a satisfactory and filling meal when accomplished with Tomato Chutney and some Punjabi Daal aside ( I didn’t have Sambhar). So this north meets South Combo was a total hit for my self obsessed sessions and I am so looking forward for more such moments when I can cherish these special treats 😉

What you need ?
- 1 cup Wheat Flour – Atta

How to make ?
- Mix flours, rava and yoghurt first with spatula well gradually and gently. Add all the spices, onion, ginger, coriander, Kasuri methi and stir gradually adding water
- Keep aside for 10-15 minutes, check seasoning and add more water if required.
- Heat a non-stick Tawa, spread some oil. Sprinkle some water on top and spread Dosa batter evenly in spiral shape, cook for 5-6 minutes on medium-low flame.
- Flip the side, and cook for another 2 minutes on low flame. Serve hot with Chutney

My Notes:
- When I make Dosas I always sprinkle the water after applying oil to the griddle, this way it uses very less oil and Dosas are cooked quickly with better crisp
- These Doas go very well with Coconut tomato Chutney or Sesame coconut Chutney
- You can experiment and add your own spices like Paprika, Thyme, Oregano etc into the batter and enjoy

Nupur we also make instant dosa’s and they make a delicious treat with an extra use of butter/ ghee. This would work with your Atta recipe too! Sorry about the weather!:-)!
Nice for health freaks like us. Going to try soon.
I am nodding my head reading about the weather obsession. My weather is very similar to what you describe, maybe not the ‘very cold’ part :-).
You have really jazzed up the wheat dosa with kasoori methi et all, this is a quick fix for most dinners at my place. Yours looks perfectly done.
what a lovely spicy way of having dosa… too good!!
it looks so healthy and delicious.Inviting clicks.
Best for quick dinner, super delicious healthy wheat dosa..
i love instant things like this, makes breakfast such a breeze! Oh how I miss the unpredictable English weather!
Though not similar, In Maharashtraians we have a similar dish called ‘ghavan’ which is made with wheat, these are super tempting and easy to make. I have a very dear friend living in London who also has the same weather woes 🙂 can so relate to u!
I am a sucker for dosa and have failed mainly times trying to make at home – will be trying this recipe soon 🙂 and sending you lots of sunshine from Dallas dear
Haha, I’m still one to just change the channel when the weather comes on. 🙂
This looks fantastic! I would LOVE to try some of this!!
I love this Dosa recipe. Dosa are my favorite and I love to try different Dosa. This Dosa is refreshingly new.
