Instructions
To embark on your culinary adventure with the Oats and Coconut Dosa, begin by gathering all your ingredients and placing them into a large mixing bowl, except for the sunflower oil. Gradually introduce water, adding approximately 2 cups, while stirring continuously to ensure a lump-free batter. The desired consistency should be smooth and pourable, akin to that of traditional dosa or pancake batter.
Once your batter is ready, heat a skillet over high heat. Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the skillet, using the back of the ladle to spread it outward into a thin, even layer. Drizzle some sunflower oil around the edges of the dosa, allowing it to cook thoroughly until it becomes soft and slightly steamed.
Carefully flip the dosa once it is golden brown on one side, and continue cooking until both sides exhibit a light crispiness. For an even crisper texture, reduce the heat to medium and consider using an iron skillet, as this will enhance the dosa’s flavor and texture beautifully.
When ready, serve your Oats and Coconut Dosa hot alongside Idli Milagai Podi and fresh coconut chutney, making it an ideal choice for a quick, nutritious breakfast on busy weekdays or a delightful snack at any time of day. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and subtle sweetness of this healthful dish that beautifully marries tradition with modern dietary preferences.
