Ingredients
  • ½ cup channa daal / split bengal gram
  • ½cup pink masoor daal/split pink or red lentils or tuvar daal/split pigeon peas
  • ½ cup green whole moong beans/ whole green gram
  • 3 tbsp cup white whole urad daal / split black gram
  • 1 cup white/brown qunioa
  • 10 whole dried red chilies, add less or more according to your taste
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp meethi/fenugreek seeds
  • 1tbsp salt
For the masala:
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • pinch asafoetida
  • 10 curry leaves, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Wash the daals and the quinoa very very well until the water runs clear. Then add fresh water and soak it for 2-3 hours.
  2. After 2 hours, add the cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds and the whole red chilies and grind it with only 1 cup of water. Grind to a coarse paste, not too smooth or too grainy. The batter should be thick and when you pour on a griddle it should not spread too fast or on it's own.
  3. In a pan, add oil. Let it get hot and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and let it pop and splutter. Then add the red onion and saute for a minute and then add the grated carrots. Season with salt and saute for another 2 minutes and switch off the flame and let cool.
  4. Once it is cooled for 5 minutes, add this masala mixture to the daal and quinoa batter. Mix well. Now the batter is ready. You can make dosa, small or large, thick or thin. Pour it on a flat surfaced griddle(a pancake griddle), on medium heat. Flatten with a round ladle and pour a tsp of oil and cook on one side for a minute and then carefully flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve with an chutney of your choice.
  5. Serve hot.
