Sorghum Dosa Recipe | Chola Dosa Recipe
Sorghum Dosa is a light and healthy dosa made using sorghum, rice and urad dal. It comes soft in middle and little crisp at edges, making it so good to have for breakfast or even dinner. The flavor is mild, earthy and comforting with that small nutty taste from sorghum.
Servings10 dosas
Ingredients
- 1 cup sorghum cholam
- ½ cup idli rice
- ¼ cup whole urad dal
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- salt to taste
- oil for making dosas
Instructions
- Measure all the ingredients and soak it in a wide bowl with enough water till immersing level. Soak this for at least 3-4 hours.
- Rinse it well, then wash it well at least twice.
- Then grind it to a thickish batter with little water. The batter consistency should be neither thick nor thin. I grinded it in my wet grinder, you can do it mixie too but grinder is recommended.
- Add required salt, mix it and keep it undisturbed for it to ferment.
- Leave it in warm place for at least 8 hours, I left it overnight. See the fermented batter the next day, it has raised well.
- You can see the texture, mix it once then add water to make the batter thin.
- Adjust and add water till it is in pour-able and spreadable consistency.
- Heat a dosa tawa, if you sprinkle water it should give shh sound then the tawa is hot, now add 2 small ladle full of batter and spread it in concentric circles. Drizzle oil over the sides and in the middle.
- Cook till it becomes golden in the center and the edges starts lifting up, flip to other side and cook for 2 minutes turn again flip over and fold it. Remove from tawa and serve.
- Serve Chola Dosa hot with chutney and sambar.
Notes
- Soaking– I soak everything for 3 to 4 hours as it helps in smooth grinding and soft dosa.
- Fermentation – Batter needs at least 8 hours of resting. Keep it in warm place, in cold weather it may take little longer.
- Consistency – The consistency should be slightly thick while grinding. Later you can add water to get pouring consistency.
- Tawa Heat – Make sure tawa is hot before spreading batter. When you sprinkle water, it should make small sizzling sound.
- Oil – I drizzle little oil on the sides while cooking. It makes dosa crisp and adds nice flavor too.
