I have been going completely crazy this cricket season rekindling all my childhood memories of watching the world cup with my parents and brother. My kids are wondering what happened to Amma 😄 when I shout “India, India” while cheering for our team. 😍 Right now when Virat Kohli finally made his 49th ODI century which I was eagerly waiting for, that too on his birthday today, I wanted to write it in my blog to share my happiness here.

Amongst all this, I don’t feel like cooking at all and am glued to the TV, not wanting to miss any 4 or 6 when our team bats and not wanting to miss any wickets by our amazing bowlers. 😍 But since I am still a mother 😄, I have to cook and that’s when this instant dosa comes handy. I have been making Instant Jowar dosa since few months now and my kids love it.

It becomes a quick snack when they come back from school. Also a very filling breakfast, easy to make and healthy too. Hope you all try and love it too. Do let me know if any doubts and it will be a pleasure to help. Happy and healthy cooking ❤️

RECIPE:

1 Cup = 240 ml

Ingredients: { Makes about 10 to 12 dosas }

2 Cups Jowar flour/ Sorghum millet flour

Salt to taste

About 3 to 3 1/4 cups water

1 medium sized Onion

3 Green chillies

1/4 Cup finely chopped Coriander leaves

For seasoning:

1 Tbsp Ghee or Oil

1 tsp Mustard seeds

1 tsp Cumin seeds/ Jeera

1 tsp whole Peppercorns

Few curry leaves

Step by step recipe:

1. Take 2 Cups Jowar flour in a vessel and add 3 Cups water. Mix using a whisk to remove lumps and make a smooth batter. Add salt and mix well. (Adding one cup of water at a time helps in less lumps in the batter)

2. Now add finely chopped onion, Coriander leaves and green chillies into the batter.

Also prepare seasoning in a small pan by heating ghee, splutter mustard seeds, add cumin seeds, pepper and curry leaves. Fry for few seconds. Remove from flame.

3. Mix the seasoning into the batter. Batter is ready to make dosas instantly.

4. Heat a good quality non stick pan or a well seasoned cast iron pan. It’s important for the dosas to come out easily as it’s thin dosas. Add about two ladles of the batter into the pan, making sure the flame is high. Start adding the batter in the edges of the pan and then add in the middle.

5. Allow it to cook on high flame till the surface cooks completely and edges turn crisp. If needed, you can turn the flame to medium if the dosas turn black underneath. Add ghee or oil on the edges of the dosa. Now fold and remove from flame.

6. Dosa is ready to enjoy with a chutney of your choice. Repeat the same with the rest of the batter.

Notes:

* I have never refrigerated this batter. So don’t know how it will be if refrigerated. Since it’s easy to make, I make fresh batter each time and use it up the same day. You can keep the batter at room temperature for few hours though. It won’t spoil. I sometimes make the batter in the morning and use it as evening snack.

* For me, 2 Cups Jowar flour and 3 1/4 Cups water yields perfect batter. Depending on your flour brand , it might vary a little for you.

* I keep a little batter separate without green chillies for the kids.

* A good quality non stick pan or well seasoned cast iron pan is necessary for the dosas to come out perfectly.

* If the dosas come out thick and you prefer it that way, you can still make it but cook it both sides. For thin dosas, only one side cooking with suffice.

* Other dishes that I make with Jowar flour regularly:

Jowar dosa with Urad dal

Jowar Idli

Jowar Vegetable Bhakri

* You can also try all my “no rice” dosas which includes instant varieties of dosas and also millet based ones.
