Instructions:
-
Soak the Urad Dal: Begin by soaking the white urad dal in water for about 4 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain the water completely and grind the dal into a fine paste, adding 1/4 cup of water to help with the grinding process.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground urad dal paste, rice flour, and soy flour. Mix them well. Gradually add 3/4 cup of water and stir to form a smooth batter. The consistency of the batter should resemble that of traditional dosa batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Season the Batter: Add salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Your dosa batter is now ready!
-
Heat the Dosa Tawa: Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or griddle over medium heat. Once the tawa is hot, lightly grease it with a little sunflower oil using a paper towel or cloth.
-
Cook the Dosa: Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the hot tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer. Drizzle a small amount of oil around the edges and on top of the dosa.
-
Flip and Cook: Allow the dosa to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom becomes golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the dosa over and cook the other side until it turns lightly brown as well.
-
Repeat: Continue making dosas with the remaining batter, greasing the tawa as needed.
-
Serve: Serve the Protein-Rich Soy Dosa hot with your favorite chutney, sambar, or a Karnataka Style Goraikai Kara recipe for a complete meal.
Tips:
- For an even crispier dosa, you can adjust the amount of oil used on the tawa.
- You can substitute sunflower oil with ghee if you prefer a richer flavor.
- To keep the dosas warm while preparing the rest, you can place them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
This Protein-Rich Soy Dosa is not just delicious but also a great source of protein, making it an ideal breakfast choice. The urad dal and soy flour provide essential amino acids, while the rice flour keeps the dosa soft and crisp. Whether you enjoy it with chutney or curry, this dosa is sure to be a hit in your kitchen!
