Besan dosa, also known as kadalai maavu dosai, is a popular South Indian breakfast dish made from a batter of besan (gram flour) and various spices. It is quick and easy to make, making it a favorite among busy households. The dosa is typically served with coconut chutney, sambar, or any other spicy side dish. The crispy texture and savory flavor of besan dosa make it a delicious and nutritious breakfast option for everyone to enjoy.
Besan (Kadalai Maavu) Dosai is a savory Indian pancake made from chickpea flour. To prepare this dish, start by finely chopping onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves. In a bowl, mix besan with red chili powder, turmeric, asafoetida, and salt, then gradually add water to achieve a dosa-like batter consistency. Stir in the chopped green chilies and coriander for added flavor.
Heat a non-stick tawa and pour a ladleful of the batter, spreading it evenly in a circular motion. Top the dosa with the chopped onions and tomatoes, then drizzle some oil around the edges and cook for a few minutes. Flip the dosa to cook the other side, then remove it from the tawa. Serve hot with your preferred chutney for a delicious meal or snack.
