Masala Dosa for diabetics.

Batter recipe comes from my Uncle's restaurant in Bombay:
Split black gram (urad dal), 100 grams 1/2 cup(
Split chick peas (chana dal - split pigeon peas or tuar dal is OK too), 2.5 oz, 1/3 cup
Aromatic Basmati Rice, brown, uncooked, 1.25 cup
Split Green Gram (Mung Dal) Dry, 0.3 cup Salt, .5 tsp
Soak all the dry ingredients for 3-4 hours and blend smooth with water as needed to make a dosa batter. Let stand in a dry, warm and dark place (oven is great) overnight. Best if soaked in the morning, blended after 3 p.m. and prepared for brunch or breakfast the next morning. Add salt and stir well prior to making dosa. Makes 10 dosas with 1/2 cup of batter for each one.

Bhaji or stuffing:
Cauliflower, raw, 5.5 cup
Onions, raw, 2 cup, chopped
Green Hot Chili Peppers, 3 pepper
Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1 pepper
Mustard seed, yellow, 1 tsp

Urad dal 1/2 tbsp
Chana dal 1.5 tbsp

Cilantro fresh chopped 1/4 cup for garnish.

Chutney by Viju, Cousin's wife slightly changed.

*Coriander seed, 1 tbsp
Green Peppers (bell peppers), 0.5 cup, chopped
Baby Carrots, raw, 3 large
*Hot Chili Peppers, 3 pepper
Tamarinds1 fruit use 1/4 tsp of Tamco paste.
Olive Oil, 1 tsp
Mustard seed, yellow, 1 tsp
Salt, 1 dash or to taste.

5 Tbsp for 10 dosas, or you may use a non-stick pan with Pam spray.

Enjoy!

This is not an easy recipe for a beginner, unless you know Dosa how to's. If you knew dosa how-to's all you need are the ingredients which are listed ;-)

Serves 5 at 2 large dosas each filled with almost 1/2 a cup of bhaji and 2 tbsp. chutney on the side. You may fall short on chutney but, not everyone likes a lot of chutney on the side as I do!!! LOL

FOR DIABETIC batter, use 1/2 cup rice only.

Number of Servings: 5
