Brown Rice Dosa

One week end we picked up Brown Rice bag from the grocery store instead of white. Since then I was constantly looking out for brown rice recipes as I want to prepare some thing different. My search came to an end when I found this recipe on 'The Chef and Her Kitchen' blog. I prepared these dosa's thrice and every time they tasted very well. Here is the recipe with my changes to it.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 Cups Brown Rice,

1 Cup Urad Dal (Skinless),

1/2 Cup Chana Dal,

1 Cup Rice Flakes (Poha),

2 Tbsp Methi Seeds,

Salt to Taste,

Ghee/Oil to roast the dosa.

Batter Preparation:

• In a bowl add urad dal, chana dal, rice and methi seeds and wash them thoroughly with water.
• In the same bowl add water to the ingredients and soak them for 9 to 10 hours or over night.
• Next day morning, or after ten hours soak rice flakes in water for an hour.
• After an hour, mix all the soaked ingredients and blend them into a fine paste by adding water. Make sure that the paste is thick in consistency.
• Add salt to the batter and leave it to ferment it. Batter can also be fermented in preheated oven for 20 to 30 mints.

Dosa Preparation:

• Heat a non stick pan on a medium flame.
• Once, the pan is hot, mix the batter well and place a big ladle of batter on the pan and spread it on the pan in a circular motion to form a uniform shaped dosa.
• Add ghee/oil on the edges of dosa and cover it with a lid.
• Let it cook on medium flame for a mint or two and remove the lid.
• Turn the dosa on to next side and allow it cook for a mint or two.
• Once the dosa is done with texture of your choice (smooth or crispy) remove it and serve it a chutney of your choice.
