Recipe Introduction
"Dosas are a thin, savory crepe-like Indian pancake traditionally eaten for breakfast, but I like them anytime. These are probably not very authentic as I am not Indian, but they are a tasty alternative that appeals to the typical American pancake."
List of Ingredients
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups water
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Original recipe yield 8 pancakes
Stir the brown rice and whole wheat flours together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the water to make a thin batter. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, sugar, turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander, ginger, cayenne pepper and rice vinegar until evenly blended. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour, or overnight.
To cook the dosas, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it over the bottom in a thin layer. Cook 1 minute, turn, and cook 1 minute more. Remove from the pan. Repeat with remaining batter.

Nov. 9, 2008Delicious savory crepes. I do not use wheat but I found Dosa Flour (a blend of rice and bean fours) at a local East Indian market. Best eaten fresh out of the skillet.

Jan. 24, 2008I have made this recipe a couple of times and they are simply delicious! My daughter has even asked for the recipe and they are now very popular with her friends at university. I served these with an Indian curry and pilau rice.

Dec. 1, 2008This didn't work for me at all. Apart from adding a little salt, I made them as written. I left them overnight, and the batter got extremely thick so I stirred in a bit of milk. I found it extremely difficult to get them thin, and they broke apart when I turned them over. They tasted ok-ish, but they were really unappetizing-looking. Oh well.

Mar. 9, 2008The spices and vegetables were really tasty, but the recipe could have used some salt. I thinned the batter even more with some water.
