Multigrain Dosa Recipe | Mixed Dal Dosa | High Protein Dosa with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Dosa recipes are the staple food of South India and are made typically for morning breakfast. These are typically made with a combination of rice and urad dal which is fermented overnight before it is cooked to a crisp soft dosa. However, the same dosa recipe can also be made with a combination of lentils and mixed dal dosa or multigrain dosa is one such simple recipe.
I have posted several dosa recipes on my blog till now. These are either instant recipes or follow the traditional dosa batter to produce either soft or crisp dosa recipes. Having said that, mixed dal dosa or multigrain dosa is one of a kind. Most of the traditional dosa recipes are rich in carbohydrates due to the use of rice in it. This is certainly good for morning breakfast. Yet if you need something high in protein for your next breakfast, mixed dal dosa is the perfect choice. Moreover, due to the use of other lentils, do not think there is any compromise on the taste. The batter yields a crisp textured dosa and particularly when served with any spicy chutney, you may like it even more. Do try this variant and I am certain that you would love it.
In addition, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the multigrain dosa recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have added 3 cups of rice which would make it a crisp, tasty, and balanced meal. Yet, if you wish to cut down on the carbohydrate intake, you could just skip it and make it with just lentils. Secondly, once the batter is prepared, it is fermented naturally by resting it in a warm place. Naturally fermented mixed dal dosa batter is good for digestion. Yet you could add eno or baking soda to skip the fermentation. Lastly, I particularly prefer cast iron dosa tawa to make any fermented dosa. Yet you can use nonstick dosa tawa if you do not have a cast iron pan.
