A breakfast or snack recipe made with besan (kadalai mavu) flour

Ingredients

  • Besan (Kadalai Mavu) flour – 1 cup

  • Chilli Powder – ½ teaspoon

  • Turmeric Powder – ¼ teaspoon

  • Asafoetida Powder – ¼ teaspoon

  • Green Chilli (small size) – 1

  • Coriander Leaves – few

  • Onion – 1

  • Tomato – 1

  • Salt – ½ teaspoon or as per taste

  • Oil – 4 teaspoons

Directions

  • Finely chop the onion, tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves.
  • In a bowl, combine besan, red chili powder, turmeric, asafoetida, and salt. Mix well, then gradually add water to create a batter similar to dosa batter.
  • Stir in the chopped green chili and coriander leaves.
  • Heat a non-stick tawa and pour a large ladleful of batter, starting from the corner and moving to the center (similar to making rava dosa). Tilt the tawa in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
  • Top with the chopped onion and tomato. Drizzle a little oil around the dosa and cook for a few minutes.
  • Flip it over, cook the other side, then remove from the tawa.
  • Serve with your choice of chutney.
