I made Dosas with Quinoa and they tasted sooo delicious!! This is an instant dosa and doesn't need any fermentation. And these are very easy and quick to make. 

Ingredients: 2 cups Organic Quinoa 1 cup Wheat Flour 1 cup Rice Flour Salt Oil Preparation: Wash Quinoa well. Then mix all the ingredients except oil into a batter using water as required. It should of dropping consistency and it should be considerably thin. Heat a pan and pour a ladleful of batter and make a circle.  But don’t spread it like most dosas. Start pouring the batter around the edge of the pan thus making a big hollow circle. Quickly fill in the circle with more batter.  Pour little oil around the dosa and allow it to cook for some time. Then flip it over and allow it to cook on the other side too. Pour little oil around the dosa if needed. Transfer the dosa to a serving plate. Repeat the same process with remaining batter.  Enjoy these healthy and yummy dosas with desired chutney. Yummy!!
