Dosas or crepes in India are savory and usually made from soaking rice and lentils overnight and grinding it to a batter and letting this batter ferment over night for it to rise. Once the batter rises, we make a thin crepe by pouring over an iron griddle.

Now I wish I had the time to do all these steps. Since I am a busy working full time mom, I am always pressed for time hence my latest Innovation- Protein packed lentil dosa with NO RICE and requires NO FERMENTATION!

Here goes –

Ingredients:

1 cup Red lentils also known as Masoor dal in India

1/2 cup skinned black gram (looks white) also known as Urad dal in India

1 inch fresh ginger -optional

5-6 peppercorns- optional

Salt to taste

Preparation:

Soak the 2 kinds of lentils in water for 2-4 hours.

Make sure to wash the lentils thoroughly atleast 3-4 times till the cloudiness in water disappears as you are rinsing them. The reason for this is to get rid of excess starch which causes gassiness later on.

After soaking for 2-4 hours, blend them in Vitamix or any blender with ginger, salt to taste and pepper corns. I dont add extra water while blending. I add the water in which lentils are soaking and the water level is usually just enough to cover the lentils in the bowl. The batter should not be too watery or thick in consistency. I figured that transferring the water which is already soaking the lentils was just right to get the right consistency.

Transfer in a container and ready to pour in a hot griddle or pan to make instant hot crispy protein packed dosas or crepes.

Enjoy!
