Cuisine: South Indian
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 1/2 cup Rice Flour
• 1/2 cup Oats Flour
• 1/4 cup Fresh Grated Coconut
• Salt, to taste
• Jaggery, to taste (optional)
• Oil, for making dosa

Optional Ingredients:

• 1 Green Chilli, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 5 Curry Leaves, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
• 1/2 teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns, coarsely pounded

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Serves 3-4

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rice flour, oats flour, grated fresh coconut, salt, and jaggery (if using).
2. Add water little by little (about 2 cups) to form a smooth, lump-free batter with a pouring consistency. It should resemble the consistency of regular dosa batter or pancake batter.
3. Optional: Add finely chopped green chilli, grated ginger, curry leaves, asafoetida, and coarsely pounded black peppercorns for an added burst of flavor.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle on medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
5. Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the dosa is crisp and golden brown on both sides.
6. For a crispy texture, cook on medium heat, ideally on an iron skillet to maintain the heat and achieve a perfect crisp.
7. Serve the Oats and Coconut Dosa with Idli Milagai Podi (chili powder) and Coconut Chutney for a delicious and quick South Indian breakfast.
