Ingredients
-
1 cup whole wheat flour
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 pinch baking soda
-
1 ¾ cups water, or more as needed
-
¼ cup vegetable oil
Directions
-
Combine flour, 2 tablespoons oil, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Mix for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cup water and mix until it's lump free, the chunks of flour have dissolved, and the batter has a good consistency, adding more water if needed.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil on a griddle over medium heat. Pour some of the batter onto the griddle; spread the batter in a circular motion, slowly yet steadily. Cook until the edges start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil between each batch.
Cook's Notes:
The trick in this recipe is the batter, you want to make sure to have it to the consistency of a regular dosa batter. (If you don't know what that means, it's almost the same consistency as yogurt.)
You can use 1 tablespoon butter instead of 2 tablespoons oil. The butter/oil added initially to the dosa batter ensures the crispiness.
You can use baking powder instead of baking soda. It's important to make sure you add just a pinch of baking powder or soda. I'd recommend the soda since it has a slightly bitter flavor that's commonly seen.
