Wheat Dosas (Indian pancakes made of wheat flour)

The days I feel too lazy to grind the rice for my regular rice and urad dal (split black gram) dosas, the wheat dosas pop-up on my breakfast menu. This is a branch from the family of ‘Dosas’. South Indian homes, unlike north Indian’s, make rotis and paranthas very rarely; being more of rice eaters they follow the typical menu- dosas, idlis, upma etc., for breakfast. This recipe is not only easy but also very nutritious.

These dosas don’t need much oil like the normal rice dosas, thus making it almost oil free. It is accompanied with coconut chutney, sambar, and groundnut chutney. As for the kids, they can just enjoy it with butter and jam!
