Ingredients:

• 1 cup of urad dal (split black gram)
• 2 cups of brown rice
• 1/2 cup of quinoa
• 1/2 cup of oats
• 1/2 cup of fenugreek seeds
• 1/2 cup of yogurt (optional)
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Soak the Ingredients:

• Wash and soak the urad dal, brown rice, quinoa, and fenugreek seeds in water for at least 6 hours or overnight.

2. Blend into Batter:

• Drain the soaked ingredients and blend them into a smooth batter. You can add water gradually as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
• Add yogurt (if using) and salt to the batter, and mix well. Let it ferment for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume. The fermentation process not only enhances the flavor but also makes the dosa more digestible.

3. Prepare the Dosa:

• Heat a non-stick skillet or a dosa pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium.
• Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet.
• Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to create a thin dosa.
• Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa.
• Cook until the edges start to lift and turn golden brown, and the dosa becomes crisp and golden on the bottom.
• Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute or two until it’s lightly golden.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

• Your high-protein dosa is ready to be served! Serve it hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite dosa accompaniments.
