How to make Instant Sorghum Dosa by Manjula’s Kitchen

Dosa is a popular south indian delicacy which looks like a crepe. It’s like a crisp and thin pancake made of rice and urad dal batter. Traditionally Dosa is served with sambar, aloo masala and coconut chutney. It is an Indian crepe made usually through rice batter, but here we have experimented and made many alternative dosa such as Oat Dosa, Besan Dosa, Rava Dosa, Sorghum Dosa. This preparation is using sorghum dosa and is a bread based breakfast recipe that is vegan. The preparation entails skillfully combining pan techniques and manual dexterity to achieve the perfect bread cooked on non-stick skillets.

1. Mixing Dry Ingredients: Crafting the Base for Jowar Dosa

Embark on the journey of creating an Instant Jowar Dosa by combining all the dry ingredients – sorghum flour (Jowar), rice flour, cumin seeds, asafetida, salt, and black pepper. This harmonious blend sets the foundation for a gluten-free and vegan dosa that promises a delightful culinary experience. Ensure the dry ingredients are well-integrated, setting the stage for the dosa batter.

2. Creating the Dosa Batter: Achieving the Perfect Consistency

Gradually add water to the dry mix, creating a thin batter with a pouring consistency akin to buttermilk. The key is to avoid any lumps, ensuring a smooth texture. Let the batter stand for approximately 30 minutes, allowing it to settle and develop optimal flavours. This patient step contributes to the success of your Jowar Dosa, enhancing its taste and texture.

3. Adding Cilantro: Elevating the Flavor Profile of Jowar Dosa

Before transforming the batter into dosas, introduce a burst of freshness by adding cilantro. This step not only enhances the flavor profile but also adds a visual appeal to your Jowar Dosa. Gently mix the cilantro into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of this aromatic herb.

4. Pouring and Cooking Dosa: The Art of Creating Jowar Dosa

Heat the skillet on medium-high, a crucial step before creating your Jowar Dosa. To test the skillet’s readiness, sprinkle a few drops of water – a sizzle should confirm its optimal temperature. Wipe the skillet with a few drops of oil, creating the perfect non-stick surface. With a ladle, pour the batter in a circular motion, starting from the centre, allowing the dosa to take shape naturally. Resist the urge to spread the batter, as Jowar Dosa is intended to have holes, resembling a swiss cheese or possessing a lacy appearance.

5. Drizzling Oil and Flipping Dosa: Achieving the Perfect Golden Brown

Enhance the crispiness and flavour by drizzling a teaspoon of oil around the dosa. Cook the Jowar Dosa over medium heat for about 2 minutes until it attains a golden brown hue. Using a spatula, gently flip the dosa, revealing a light colour on one side and the golden brown perfection on the other. This intricate dance of heat and ingredients results in a thin, crispy, and visually appealing Sorghum Dosa.
