Green wave dosa

This green dosa is a powerhouse of nutrients, especially rich in omega-3 fats, which have anti-inflammatory properties that protect your heart and other vital organs. Low in calories, it can be combined with coriander tomato chutney or sambhar. It also contains vitamin A and fibre, an important antioxidant that helps blood glucose control for diabetics.

Ingredients

• Raw rice, 1 cup (100g)
• Rolled oats, ½ cup (50g)

Method

1. Soak rice, urad dal, whole green moong and methi seeds in water for 4-5 hours.
2. Add oats to the soaked grains and keep for another 15-20 mins.
3. Drain all the water, then grind the mixture to a smooth batter.
4. Cover the batter and allow to ferment for 3-4 hours (you should see it increase in volume).
5. Grind spinach, ginger, green chillies, curry leaves and hing to a smooth paste.
6. Mix the paste into the fermented dosa batter. Add salt as required and put the mixture aside for 10 minutes.
