besan dosa recipe | gram flour dosa | besan ka dosa | besan rava dosa with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple healthy dosa recipe made with a combination of gram flour, semolina, and rice flour. the recipe is very similar to the popular rava dosa and carries the same texture and thickness, yet has its own taste and color to the dosa recipe. the batter is prepared similar to neer dosa and is loaded with spices and herbs, thus making tasty dosa which can be served by itself but tastes great when served with spicy chutney.
as i was trying to explain earlier, traditionally dosa recipes are with a combination of rice and urad dal and steamed in a flat dosa pan. but there are so many variations to the traditional and can be made with different types of flours and ingredients. these generally do not try to mimic the same texture and thickness, but comes out as a crisp flaky crepe recipe. i personally a big fan of traditional dosa recipes, but i also acknowledge its problems and its concerns. particularly the soaking, grounding, and fermentation process which can be time-consuming. whereas these flour-based dosa recipes are instant and provide a crisp and healthy alternative without much planning required. hence i would strongly recommend trying this recipe once and serve it to your friends and family.
furthermore, some more additional and important tips, suggestions, and variations to the besan dosa recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fine powdered or besan ladoo flour for this recipe. it easily mixes with water without forming any lump in the dosa batter. moreover, it can be easily poured on top of the dosa pan. secondly, the batter has to be thin and watery so that it can be easily poured on top of the pan. in addition, while the batter is poured on top of dosa pan, it should be very hot so that it easily gets spread. lastly, once the dosa batter is prepared, it should not be rested. you need to start pouring immediately so that it does not lose its crunchiness.
