Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is one of the healthy grains with high protein, iron and fiber. Quinoa is so nutritious that NASA has used it to feed astronauts on long-term space missions. This is a very easy yet healthy recipe. I added oats to it, but it is optional. Quinoa comes in white, red and black colors. I used rainbow (mix of all three) quinoa.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ onion
- 3 green chilies
- 1-inch ginger
- Salt
- 1.2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- Oil
Method:
- Wash and soak quinoa
- Add oats to it
- Soak them for at least 2 hours (you can soak it for 4-5 hours too)
- Grind the mixture to a thin batter by adding onion, ginger, chilies, turmeric powder and cumin seeds
- Add water to get the desired consistency
- Batter should be of flowing consistency
- Add salt, mix well and keep it for 15 minutes covered
- To make dosa, heat a pan over medium heat.
- Brush with about 1 teaspoon of oil.
- Pour one ladle of batter into the center of the pan. Using the bottom of the ladle, quickly spread the batter outward in a circular motion as shown in the video.
- Drizzle some oil over the top.
- Cook dosa batter to brown on the bottom. Cook on one side only.
- With a spatula, carefully loosen the dosa from the griddle. The bottom should be crisp and beautifully browned.
- Serve with any type of chutney (coconut, onion chutney).
