MODERNISING AN OLD RECIPE

 Remember the time when the elderly in the house would labour hard, grinding spices and preparing pickles for the household to be used all year round? The time when food was not just about tasting good but served as the basic source of nutrition, goodness and taste. Who does that anymore? Today, all we care about is inconvenience and about food being delivered or served fast. (without a hint of what goes into the making of it) In our habitual routine, cooking something different yet a healthy recipe is a tough task. It can be a challenge to translate and update these recipes especially in light of researching around food and cooking. 

Modernising "Dosas" with a bling of different flavours is the new cool. So here I am sharing one of the healthiest dishes of all the time - oats dosa. 

Ingredients :-

1 cup thick fermented urad Dal

2-3 tbsps semolina/rava (optional)

¼ cup powdered oats

Water as needed

Salt to taste

Method:-

● Mix all the three ingredients with little water and salt and bring it to a dosa batter

consistency, do not make the batter runny.

● Set aside for 10 minutes, if the batter becomes too thick, add some more water and

bring it to the right consistency.

● Heat dosa pan till smoky hot, sprinkle some water, allow the water to evaporate,

then pour the batter with a ladle and spread it to a thin round layer with the base of

the ladle.

● Spread little oil around the edges of dosa and allow it to fry on a medium flame.

● Flip the dosa to the other side and toast it for a minute or two. This step is optional.

● Serve hot with any chutney of your choice.
