This Instant Wheat Dosa recipe, among many others, reminds me of my late Grandmom, Aatha to me. She was an expert at making these crispy, lacy, tempered, instant wheat dosa (or Godhuma Dosa as we call it) mainly because although it’s an instant dosa recipe, it requires more time to cook than regular dosas due to the wheat flour or atta used to make the dosa batter.

Her wheat dosa recipe only contains wheat flour that’s diluted in water and then tempered with some spices and curry leaves. The spices add a great bite and flavour to the wheat dosa which already has a lovely aroma due to the wheat flour used. So, let’s check out how to make easy and instant wheat dosa, shall we?

Step by Step Instructionsto Make Instant Wheat Dosa
1. Mix the salt and the flour. Add water a little at a time and gently mix the batter until the consistency is thin and pourable. The consistency of wheat dosa batter should be much thinner than regular dosa batter. The wheat flour will tend to form lumps so be patient and keep mixing until you get a smooth batter.

3. Heat your dosa tawa and using a large rounded ladle, start pouring the batter from the outside and keep pouring batter into a circle until it’s filled. Don’t worry if there are some holes in the dosa, that will crisp up nicely and add to the taste.

4. Keeping flame on medium-low, cook the dosa until the edges start to rise a bit. Pour a few drops of gingelly oil (nallennai) over the dosa and gently flip it over. The other side should be golden brown. Like I mentioned, Instant wheatdosa takes longer to cook than regular dosa so be patient during this stage

Continue to cook the rest of the wheat dosa. Amma serves this with aspicy red chilli chutney recipe that goes well with wheat dosa so do try it!
Notes:
– You can use regular chapati flour or atta to make wheat dosa. I have even used the 7-grain or multi grain atta for wheat dosa and they work just fine.
– The amount of water mentioned is just approximate. Add enough to make a loose batter. The looser the batter, the crisper your dosa and the longer it takes to cook.
– Wheat dosa keeps really well and turns soft and spongy on cooling so it’s a great instant dosa idea for your tiffin and lunch boxes.
– You can use minced onions if you don’t have shallots in hand or if they are unavailable
