Wheat Dosa– Why grind wheat when flour is available at stores?
If you have access to flour mill, I recommend buying wheat and then grinding it from the flour mill. The bran, endosperm & germ – that is the whole wheat kernel is milled to flour. The presence of bran reduces the gluten development and the presence of germ make the flour retain wheat protein, vitamins & minerals. On the other hand the flour available at store might have higher gluten levels & ground without the protein rich germ portion of wheat.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour : I have used homemade wheat flour for this recipe. You can use store bought wheat flour, multigrain atta too.
- Rice Flour : Addition of rice flour in small proportion to the wheat flour makes the dosa crispy & more tasty. I have used homemade rice flour for this recipe though you can use store bought flour as well. Alternatively you can add rava / sooji too in place if rice flour.
- Green Chilli, Onion, Jeera: Add finely chopped green chilli for a slightly spicy tint, jeerafor flavour to the dosa and onion for added taste.
