Buckwheat Dosa: A Healthy, Instant Indian Crêpe

The Buckwheat Dosa recipe, often known as Kuttu Dosa, offers a remarkably quick and nutritious alternative to traditional fermented dosas. This dish is an instant buckwheat dosa that requires no fermentation, making it a perfect last-minute meal or snack. This healthy Indian buckwheat crêpe is prepared using a simple combination of buckwheat (kuttu) and urad dal (split black lentils), which are powdered, seasoned, and instantly turned into a thin, crispy pancake.

Preparing the Instant Batter Base

The key to this instant buckwheat dosa lies in preparing the dry ingredients correctly. You simply need to combine the buckwheat and urad dal in a mixer and blend to a fine powder. This powdered mix forms the base of the batter, eliminating the long soaking and grinding process typical of dosas. Once powdered, the mixture is transferred to a deep bowl, ready to be transformed into a savory batter with the addition of water and flavorings.

The Flavorful Tempering

To infuse the dosa with a traditional savory flavor, a quick tempering is essential. Heat the oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds (rai/sarson). Once the seeds crackle, demonstrating the oil is hot, add the asafoetida (hing) and sauté briefly on a medium flame. This tempering is then added directly to the prepared powder, along with finely chopped green chillies, coriander, salt to taste, and approximately 341 cups of water. The mixture is then stirred well to create a smooth, pourable batter.

Excellent Health Benefits for Heart, Diabetes, and Pregnancy

This buckwheat dosa is an exceptionally healthy choice. Buckwheat is a powerhouse of nutrients, making it diabetic friendly due to its high fibre content, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels. It is also excellent for heart health as the fiber and specific phytonutrients help keep your cardiovascular system healthy. Furthermore, it is a very good source of iron and rich in folate, two vital nutrients that make this dosa a good food for pregnant women and for preventing anaemia.

Cooking the Crispy Crêpes

The dosa is cooked quickly on a hot surface. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter in a circular manner to form a thin crêpe. To ensure thorough cooking and crispness, pour a little oil in the holes of the buckwheat dosa and cook on both the sides till golden brown in colour. This ensures a crispy texture. The recipe yields a generous 20 dosa, making it perfect for family meals.

Serving Immediately for the Best Taste

The best way to enjoy these healthy Indian buckwheat crêpes is to serve them immediately off the tava. The buckwheat dosas pair wonderfully with a chutney of your choice, preferably a fresh Green Chutney. The final product is a light, crisp, and nutrient-dense meal that provides satiety and supports various health goals without compromising on taste.

Can the remaining batter be saved for future is not exhausted fully? If yes, how long?

Yes, but we could not suggest you to store it more than 3-4 hours as then the batter would start fermenting! and store it in a refrigerator, thaw it whenever you''d want to use it within 3-4 hours and adjust constitency with the help of water if thick and more flour if thin.
