Cornmeal Dosa | Cornmeal Crepes | Instant Dosa

Craving for a quick mini meal post work or too lazy to make breakfast or dinner? Then, this instant healthy Cornmeal Dosa is for you 🙂 Actually, necessity is the mother of invention, dont you think so? Mom kept referring to the packet of Cornmeal that I bought earlier this month while on a food-store spree 🙂 her inventory skills are sooo much better than mine, she keeps mentioning I could start a mini grocery store anytime soon with all the mindless (sometimes) purchases I make 🙂 

I knew I could make Muffins using these (which I dutifully did), use as topping for patties / cutlets (which I also did). And finally made these yummy fluffy Cornmeal Dosas, to which the base was Oats. And how healthier can it get ? Although kiddo wasnt temped to have any (coz it wasnt crispy enough for her), we all liked it and its definitely going to be a regualr on the breakfast table.

Prep time  – 15 mins. 

Cooking time – 15 mins

Makes – 6 – 8 dosas (crepes)

Ingredients:

  • Cornmeal – 1 cup
  • Oats (Dry roasted) – 1/4 cup
  • Rice flour – 1/2 cup
  • Rava – a handful ( I did not add)
  • Sour buttermilk – 3/4 cup (add 1/2 cup first and gradually increase quantity)
  • Salt – to taste
  • Onions chopped – a handful (optional)
  • Green chillies – 1 or 2 (minced fine)
  • Grated ginger – 1/2 tsp
  • Cilantro & curry leaves – few
  • Oil – to fry the dosas

Method:

1) Mix the dry ingredients first : Cornmeal, salt, Oats & Rice flour. Add buttermilk to this little by little and make the batter to a flowing consistency. If required, add a little water.

2) Now add chopped onions, rava (if using), chillies, ginger, curry leaves and cilantro. Mix well. Check for salt and spice once more

3) Heat a tava / skillet to high. Spinkle water to check if the water sizzles. Take a ladleful of batter and spread  thick or thin in concentric circles. Turn heat to medium. Drizzle oil around the edges and cook for 1-2 mins.

4) Flip over and cook again for 30 seconds. 

5) Serve hot with any chutney or sambhar.
