Whole wheat Grain Dosai recipe | South Indian Breakfast recipes

We always make dosa with godhumai maavu (whole wheat flour) which we call as godhumai dosa or karacha maavu dosai aor wheat dosai. But have you ever tried dosa with Whole wheat grain. Actually my mom makes this  but i have never remembered to ask her the recipe of this whole wheat grain dosa. Generally this whole wheat grain is used for  making godhumai halwa. A reader asked me for a recipe of dosa using whole wheat grain . then it suddenly it flashed that amma makes this and asked her for the recipe. I made it according to her instructions and it turned out very well. The dosas were crispy and yummy and kids too ate without any fuss. Check out my ragi dosa recipe, kal dosai recipe.

  • You can either grind in the mixie or you can use the grinder too. Grind this into a smooth paste.
  • I have tried grinding both in mixie and grinder. Mixie took a little long time but turned out very well.
  • Add salt and mix well.
  • Ferment this for 3-4 hours. This tends to get fermented soon.
  • Bring this batter to a dosa batter consistency.
  • Heat a dosa pan and pour one big ladle of batter and spread it into a thin dosa.
  • Smear oil on to this. Cook till golden brown.

Notes:
  1. No need to soak the whole wheat, the reason is it starts giving the milk.
  2. You can replace idli rice with any millet like varagu, kudravaali or ragi too.
  3. You can add finely chopped onions, cumin seeds, finely chopped green chili to the batter and make dosa.
  4. The batter tends to ferment so soon unlike our usual batter, so maximum 4 hours is enough.

  1. You have mentioned that this batter ferments soon. Does it mean that we have to grind and use it up the same day? Can I grind in the afternoon, leave it out for 3-4 hours and refrigerate for use the next morning?
