Quinoa Dosa | South Indian Breakfast Recipes | Quinoa Indian Recipes

Quinoa dosa - a south Indian dosai made with rice ,urad dal and quinoa.Quinoa a very healthy grain like other Millet's.I love quinoa because of its high fiber and iron content.I never get a chance to cook with it.I use it very rare, once i made quinoa adai which is a hit at my home. I even  tried quinoa salad that time i overcooked quinoa,phew !!! Then i thought  ,why not make only Indian recipes with quinoa.So i made this wonderful ,tasty quinoa dosai.

  Our family like dosai more than idli. I make different dosa  .Dosa is nothing but a south Indian crepe made with rice and urad dal as the main ingredients.Normally dosa needs fermentation to get the rich taste.
   I make different kinds -stuffed one's like vegetable masala,masala or will add lentils and make dosa like pesarattu ,adai or  make dosa batter different like with millet,fenugreek seeds or even tomato.Even i make instant variety like rava ,wheat ,Ragi oats .

      In this recipe ,adding of quinoa made the dosa very soft and more fibrous.It is so tasty ,little sweet and soft .My husband never believed it was made out of quinoa.For a crispy dosai ,you need to add some raw rice/rice flour instead of boiled rice or reduce the urad dal quantity.Even you can do half boiled and half raw rice.What ever variety you make ,the batter can last 2-3 times .That's a easy and nutritious breakfast or dinner.With chutney or sambar dosai is one of the earth's heavenly foods.
