    We are using Quinoa for the past three years. I justused to cook it along with rice. (If I am planning to cook, 2 cups of rice, I would add 1.5 cups of rice and ½ Quinoa). It has become very popular here in US. They are different type of Quinoa, but so far I have used only the regular white one. Then I started experimenting Quinoa by adding it in salads and in some other rice recipes. Even they they were a hit, but nothing got hit like this one pesarattu or dosa..

    I got this recipe from my colleague. Quinoa and green gram, what a combo?? A healthy and a yummy tiffin with high protein and low carbs.

    Pesarattu

    Ingredients:

    • Quinoa(white) – 1cup
    • Green Gram dhal (patchai payaru, green moong dhal) – 1 cup
    • Green chilly – 1
    • Ginger – 1 inch piece
    • Chopped onion – ¼ cup (Optional)
    • Salt – to taste
    • Oil for preparing dosa.

    Steps:

    • Soak quinoa and green gram dhal for 4 hours
    •  Wash them well and grind it along with green chilly and ginger.
    • Add salt and let it sit for 3-4 hours. It doesnt need to ferment like regular idly dosa batter. (But at times I have let it ferment overnight too)

    DosaiBatter

    • Before making dosas, add the chopped onion to the batter.
    • Make dosa in the regular way.
      • Heat the skillet or tawa.
      • Once the skillet is hot, spread a ladle full of batter and spread it evenly.
      • Apply oil around the corners.
      • Let it cook for about a minute.
      • Now flip the dosa and let it cook for about 30 to 40 secs.

    Yummy and healthy dosa ready. Serve it with chutney/sambhar or milagai podi.
